Thanks so much for this nice, quiet film clip. Even at advanced age, he carries himself with high class, and grace. Note how his walk is so smooth, and effortless. Dominant on turf in his day. I realize now how fortunate I was to have seen him in person twice in California race in the late 70's. An awesome individual. Thanks again.

It's good to see he had a nice retirement, and lived a long life. This story had a happy ending. John Henry strolling along in the sun......

Thanks for posting this video. John Henry was a family favorite. We visit the Horse Park every year just as the Rolex 3 day is ending and the week before the Derby. My 7 yo Grndtr will be very happy to see this video as she still talks about him running free in Heaven and literally fell apart last year when we happened upon his newly dug grave at the entrance of the Hall of Fame. If there ever was to be a bridge to "the 'other' talk" no nicer a guide than our John Henry.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more. I have always held him as one of my favorite all time boys, and used to go visit him every year there. We share the same birthday (although I'm slightly older:-), and one of the highlights of my life with horses has been seeing him in "person". I can't imagine how you all must have felt when you unexpectedly saw his resting place. What a wondrous, intelligent, creature he was!

All ex-races horses should have such peaceful retirements!
Thanks, a really nice video of a great horse.
