What a blessing these incredible horses can be, especially when you nail a partnership like that. I'm years too late telling you. But gentle hug, 'cause he sounds like your heart horse. <br /><br />I had no idea of these other blogs, your ride history, any of that.

I found this poem when my dearest horse was put down, I hope it is as comforting to you as it was me:<BR/><BR/>Somewhere...somewhere in time's own space<BR/>There must be some sweet pastured place<BR/>Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow<BR/>Some Paradise where horses go,<BR/>For by the love that guides my pen<BR/>I know Great Horses live again.<BR/> <BR/>--Stanley HarrisonDawn Simashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123147504882650215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591588693168981898.post-78008813488049983692009-02-01T08:56:00.000-08:002009-02-01T08:56:00.000-08:00Isaw you on Sinatra one day at a ride.

Kosmos and I have shared many, many trails miles with you both. We will never forget hooking up with you the last few miles of Tevis, you waiting up for us to finish the Patriot 100... Meeting you both made Kos and I better partners!<BR/><BR/>We are blessed my grey guy and old blues eyes were so well matched. I am thankful that you put up with me singing old Sinatra tunes as we trotted along-<BR/><BR/>You both will be in our hearts always!<BR/><BR/>Love & Happy Trails,<BR/><BR/>Cynthia & SJ Kerensky (Kosmos)Cynthia LeDoux-Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069349728868602241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591588693168981898.post-29328284553297487932009-01-31T14:13:00.000-08:002009-01-31T14:13:00.000-08:00Sinatra was Roo's best trail buddy - not because t...Sinatra was Roo's best trail buddy - not because they liked each other (Sinatra seemed to tolerate him like a younger brother), but because he didn't make Roo crazy. Unfortunately, the same can't exactly be said for Roo's effect on Sinatra - he was partly responsible for Crysta's unexpected last dismount at Rides of March last snowy spring. <BR/><BR/>But through Sinatra's lens, I could see Roo's worker-bee attitude blossom. When he grew up, he was going to be just like Sinatra (although perhaps without the detours into the undergrowth to relieve those annoying itchies).<BR/><BR/>We were lucky enough to ride with Crysta and Sinatra on numerous occasions and, despite looking nothing like your "conventional endurance horse", he never failed to impress me with his square attitude to his job. He was a joy to watch in motion - a compact bundle of glossy muscle trotting up those long Nevada grades.<BR/><BR/>We were glad to know him and even gladder that we got the chance to tag behind in his dust.elsieteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758968162013696640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591588693168981898.post-60785439383962638412009-01-31T11:00:00.000-08:002009-01-31T11:00:00.000-08:00Although, Sinatra's passing is steaped in sadness,...Although, Sinatra's passing is steaped in sadness, it gives one pause to know how much of a delight Sinatra dispensed. There is something very rewarding to look back on one's time with their equine companion and know the memories, no matter how good or bad, are etched positively in one's mind.<BR/><BR/>You are fortunate to have had an equine, in Sinatra that was not only your companion, he was part of your heart and your soul! <BR/><BR/>Rest in peace dear Sinatra.

How I hated how many times he had bucked you or dumped you off. How many times I prayed to God you were never seriously hurt. How many times I asked you to sell him because of it. You believed in him, and near the end I too loved him. He even learned to love his "Grandma" almost as much as he loved his "Mom". I will never forget crewing for you at Sunriver. He insisted on walking between us. I treasure being able to crew for you at Tevis. I will never forget the feeling we all had as you both crossed over the finish line! Me and Joe spent many happy times riding behind your "Cho Cho Train", as I use to call him. I know he was loved and will be missed. Especially the quiet times you shared just between you and him. I love you.
