* 10:00-12:00 Secretariat (TV)
A housewife with little knowledge of horse-racing fosters one of the greatest race horses of all time as the story of the 1973 Triple Crown winner comes to the screen in this inspirational underdog drama based on the novel Secretariat: The Making of a Champion by William Nack and starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich. Penny Chenery (Lane) is a devoted mother and housewife whose ailing father is the proprietor of Meadow Stables in Virginia. When her father becomes too ill to tend to his horses, Penny agrees to take over the stables despite her inexperience. Desperate, she turns to veteran horse trainer Lucien Laurin (Malkovich) to help show her the ropes. Up to this point, horse racing has been a decidedly male-dominated sport. But with Lucien\\\\\\\'s help, Penny prepares to prove that gender has no bearing on one\\\\\\\'s ability to breed a fast race horse. As Secretariat blasts out of the gates to leave his competition in the dust, the whole world watches in amazement, and a legend is born.

* 10:00-15:00 FEATURED EVENT: Neigh-Bours visits the HHCU (Jhb S)
One of our site admins recently visited the Highveld Horse Care Unit and had this to say in her blog: (See http://www.neigh-bours.co.za/plugins/blog_menu/comment.php?rid=1426) "I *love* going to the HHCU. Everyone thinks it must be this sad, depressing place with beat up horses and miserable people. Nothing could be further from the truth. As we got out of the car, we get greeted by Bev's pack of pavement specials - all WAY happy to see us Then the (glossy, helathy) horses & donkeys all look up and look pleased to see us .. and the stray cats that now live there come out to say hi with Bev. On the way in, we stop to say hello to the sweetest monster - a HUGE 17h TB who's in box rest for laminitis, poor boy - and he's just the cuddliest, sweetest horse... lots of lovvies. Then big howzit from Bobbie and Nadia and Ashley, and we sit and chat a bit and shoot the breeze before getting down to a business lunch. This is a HAPPY place. You should go visit :) " So .. we'll go visit! Entry fee: I pkt carrots or apples ;) Bring a packed picnic lunch and a picnic blanket! HOW TO GET THERE: http://www.horsecare.org.za/contact.php The HHCU 2nd hand shop will be open and available to Neigh-Bours members to either buy; or drop off donations of 2nd hand tack RSVP on the Facebook event - click https://www.facebook.com/events/384169584970020
