Cinnamon River arrived home at Golden Curls Ranch this past Sunday night. It was a pleasant trip home and we arrived around 10:00pm. We always have a good time with our friends and trainers Chris and Caren Ruthven so we stayed a bit longer than we should be all went well. When arrived my hubby pulled the trailer into the arena and I jumped in beside River. I untied his lead rope and he turned to look at me. He slowly backed up as I spoke softly explaining how happy we were that we was home. After a nice walk around, several flakes of good hay and water he was ready to kick back and make himself at home.
Meantime, Chester and Lakota were standing with both ears straight ahead looking at River who was around 20 feet from them. Not a word was spoken. Funny, I remember the same encounter when we brought our youngest son, Nicholas home and his older brothers just kinda stared at him in silence. They love him with all their hearts and soon Chester and Lakota will be playing with each other in the pasture.
Chester and Cinnamon River grew up together since they were born approximately three months apart. So it seems natural that they know each other. I have heard horses have great memories so this is sure to be a good test.
