Meet a little horse with a huge heart. In the 1930s, America was going through a very tough time called the Great Depression. People needed a hero to cheer for, and they found one in the most unlikely place. Seabiscuit was born on a farm in Kentucky, but he did not look like a champion racehorse. He was small, his legs were a bit crooked, and he liked to eat and sleep more than run. But when a special trainer saw something amazing in him, everything changed. Soon, this scrappy underdog began beating the biggest and fastest horses in the country. Follow the incredible true story of how a small horse with a big spirit won national races, broke records, and became one of the most famous and loved animal heroes in American history.
