TRUSTED COMPANY

(Secretariat – Star Snoop by Stage Door Johnny)

Registered Thoroughbred Mare, Foaled: 02/14/1989

Trusted Company had been living a quiet life in New Jersey for a while and well under the radar until circumstances forced her to find a new home or be euthanized. A stranger who is now a friend, searched the Internet for “Secretariat," and Patricia McQueen’s calendar came up as one of the first hits in her search. She read the information and contacted Patricia, who then contacted Bev here at Bright Futures Farm. Trusted Company was moved to a private farm in New Jersey with the friend who is responsible for saving her life but on March 17, 2019 – WONDERFUL NEWS! – Trusted Company traveled to Pennsylvania to her new, forever home here at Bright Futures Farm!

Although we are not equipped financially to take on another horse, we had to give Company a home because so many people supported her brother, Markie, Secretariat’s son. We are hoping that we can get the same support for Trusted Company!

Please consider sponsoring Company or another permanent resident at Bright Futures Farm! Your sponsorship is tax-deductible and 100% goes to your horse’s feed, hay, supplements, and vet/dental. You can also show your support by buying a photo, halter, or mug by clicking below:

PHOTOS: Patricia McQueen has specialized in Thoroughbred photography since 1983 and her favorite subject and favorite Thoroughbred was Secretariat. Fast Market (Markie) is the 2nd oldest living son of Secretariat. He raced in Canada and the United States and is currently a permanent resident at Bright Futures Farm. He spends his days grazing, playing, rolling (his favorite thing to do), and hanging out with his best buddy, Brite Decision.

Patricia has generously made several trips from Boston to our farm in Pennsylvania to photograph and write about Markie, since he is one of Secretariat’s stakes winners. What a privilege and honor it is to have her visit Bright Futures Farm! We quickly found that Patricia is one of the most–if not THE most–knowledgeable person on all things “Secretariat" as a sire.

Patricia has generously offered some of her prints of Markie for sale as a fundraiser for Bright Futures Farm. Each of Patricia’s photographs is offered in 8×10, 11×14, and 16×20 prints and will be signed by Patricia. (They will not include the watermark you see here on each image.) They are professionally printed and would be a lovely addition to any racing memorabilia collection or for any horse lover!

There are eighteen prints available and each print will be created and shipped by Patricia. All proceeds will benefit the rescue efforts at Bright Futures Farm, a trusted 501(c)(3) equine charity. PRICE INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING TO US AND CANADA.
