Yep. In professional cycling during the Lance Armstrong doping era, the riders who rode clean called it "riding on bread and water", and that is what Run Happy did. Major respect to him and his owners and trainers.

He was just the bomb. I loved watching him. His name fits him perfectly

The one thing that everybody in this documentary keeps coming back to is that the most important thing to them is the horse. I admire that. Seen alot of trainers, owners, riders and jockeys say the most important thing is money or winning

I love his name so much. Runhappy suits his temperament and his talent so much.

Randomly came across this dannm what a great story. Very beautiful horse. What made the video though was his big heart he has by helping during the flood

I visited Claiborne Farm back in 1997 and was in awe in having Unbridled, Seeking the Gold and the great Mr. Prospector be brought out of the stall and we were able to pet them and take pictures. I do remember stall #1, there was an aura in standing there knowing the great horses of the past used to stay there. Runhappy has earned its spot there.

All these people pointing to this horses success due to his bloodlines, yet they fail to realise millions of thoroughbreds have had horses such as Secretariat, Seattle Slew and more in their bloodlines and they never won a race. Bloodlines do not always equal a great racing horse, this horse was pure luck.

I rescued a mare this year who goes back to Bold Ruler, War Admiral, Native Dancer, and Northern Dancer. She surely would have wound up going to slaughter because she has serious loading issues. I am glad to see that there are a few ethical Thoroughbred owner/trainers out there. Her racing name was Ms. True Way. Out of a mare called Ms. Will A Way. By a stallion called True Direction. She is an incredible lovely mare. It took sedation and a mustang shoot to get her loaded and home. I'm glad these people value this magnificent stallion. Sadly this mare was not a top performer and was sold to inexperienced horse people who did not maintain her as she should have been. But Rest assured she is in good hands with me and this will be her for ever home.

None of my race horses ever trained on medications (nor do Mac's) -- it's the training meds -- which mask the pain and soreness which are supposed to warn the trainer that something needs attention -- training meds allow horses with minor problems to train their way into career-ending or even life-ending problems. Race day meds are bad enough, but the unregulated training meds that nobody talks about... argh, it makes me angry to think about.

Even more applicable today than ever, Jim McIngvale, that you and yours know how to properly care for an equine athlete, in development, at stud, and I'm sure RunHappy will have a good retirement life when his day eventually comes. Your team and RunHappy are a bright star of hope that people will do right by their horse as y'all have. Thank you.

Mattress Mac does not get the recognition he truly deserves in the Houston area! This man is truly a man who loves Houston and would have to be the number one citizen this city has EVER had!!

My Mom who was single and BROKE needed a recliner for him to sleep on ended up going to G.F. and my mom didn't have enough money for the chair that my brother needed so badly and out of nowhere Mattress Mac pulled out his wallet and paid the entire balance with same day free delivery!! This was before he even knew our story. He could tell my mom was devastated just by the look in her eyes and he did what he did because he genuinely cared about people. We are just one family out of who knows how many people he has helped and I hope one day I can Thank him for all of us.

Phenomenal horse, and how lovely he had stall 1 at claybourne

This is a beautiful documentary! Great people with a great horse! I hope they get to take on one of his offsprings in the future-they clearly care so much about him. Also his name 'Runhappy' is such a cute name :)

I'm really happy to hear that a deserving man's patience and investments finally payed off so well. Watching this reminds me that Mr.& Mrs. Chenery bred and races horses for decades in search of greatness. It's sad that Mrs. C passed before Riva Ridge won 2 out 3 and Mr. C passed before Secretariat won the Triple Crown. Not many, if any breeders can claim such an accomplishment. So far Runhappy only has a few named foals on the registry. Good Luck to All

Did some research on the stallion, looked into how I thought he would fit with my mare and now 3 years later I have the best looking foal I've ever had. Confirmation is perfect. So excited to see what comes of this filly and would love to go back to Runhappy. I contemplated breeding her back , but she'd foaled 2 healthy fillies the last two year and I thought she deserved a break to just be a horse.

Fantastic! Would love to see more like this.

Such a talented horse who was lucky enough to end up in the ownership of the McIngvale family, and to have such a knowledgeable and caring groom, and training team. The mandate from ownership down was unlike the majority of owners and trainers who see the horse as purely a commodity and do "anything" to get a horse to win! No abusing the horse in any way: physically, intimidation or cruelty. This team cared enough not to poison such a great athlete with "any" drugs pre-race or other. The horse ran on talent, training and daily after care, Runhappy was provided with a base diet off good quality oats, hay, and probably lots of treats (apples, carrots, etc), compared to prepared feeds I thank you for proving to the horse racing industry that it's not "required to win" to exploit such young horses by implementing typical factory style training method's, supplements, and debilitating drugs. I am happy and certain this horse was destined to find you Mr. McIngvale, you and the people caring for this horse filled his life with so much love and caring that he truly did Run Happy.

Thanks to Gulfstream for putting Run Happy in their promos between races-- Love Horses and somehow missed him during his time--- What a wonderful heartwarming story--- Secretariat had a "look", and so does Run Happy-- its more of a kind of smile, and he does look very Happy when he is running-- literally born to run. Long Life Run Happy & your team is wonderful.

Lil fact: most famous race horses are related in some way. Seabiscuit and Secretariat where basically cousins. And seabiscuit’s uncle was war admiral, and his grandpa was man o war. American pharaoh great-great-great grandfather was secretariat. I love horse history (I couldn’t find anything about Runhappy)

"Instead of Putting him down." So you think that after their last race the owner says "go put him down now." You smoke crack? That may happen once in awhile but it is def not the norm. The horses get sold to people or charities who use them to help disabled people or some have went to prisons for therapy. What you said is sad. You must watch CNN all day. Thats fake news. Half of then are CIA like Amderson Cooper who is from high class lines and interned at the CIA then all the sudden became a journalist. Thats prob where your info came from

The races is like watching Barbaro run again!

I love one of the horses he sired named Following Sea. Pretty name too.

I love Edgar because if Barbaro, he really knows and understands horses. He somehow knew that Barbaro wasn’t gonna finish that race. Runhappy is such an amazing horse.

Probably because they can’t afford one but it’s sad that they get payed so little when owners and trainers are getting thousands..
