Cinnamon was struck by a car today on a county highway at 7am.. being put down.
I first got her in 2018. She was hardly broke, and I was a beginner to horses. Usually that's something I'd say is a huge no no. But she was patient and tolerant of me learning, only throwing me once in all those years. She sparked a passion and interest into training, as I developed my confidence with horsemanship.
Over the years I learned how to train and develop a horse, buying young Colts to repeat the process until I began taking clients.
I trusted her with my life. I knew she would take care of me in any situation. When I broke my arm and had problems putting on a halter, she started helping me and putting her nose in it for me. She was such a sweetheart.
She started having narvicular and pedal bone problems around 2022. Even when I wasn't able to ride her or work her as much, I still enjoyed taking care of her and developing our liberty work instead, having a stronger connection. She was smart, but sassy, so I loved her being a brat. She made it fun and kept me on my toes. Always got a laugh or smile out of me. She was always energetic, had a lot of athleticism, doing rollbacks and trying to cow cut me because she wanted to. That always wanted me to start her on a cow.
I wanted to take her across country this year, camping with the trailer, enjoying nature. I'm saddened I won't get that chance with her now.
She taught me a lot about horsemanship, she was truly my heart horse. I had planned to keep her until her old days..
I love you Cinny! ❤️
