Mica Burton Instagram – There’s a thing that fucking sucks about being an equestrian. Sometimes the horse that you love with your whole goddamn heart isn’t the right horse for you anymore for any number of reasons, and you have to sell them to a new wonderful home. Aragorn and I have never been the perfect fit: he’s pretty small, he and I both have crazy anxiety which is an endless circle of spooking and panic, and sometimes it’s just a fact that the rider and horse are just a complicated match. That was only in the saddle though. Every other second of every day, he was my perfect angel boy. I love him with my whole heart and soul and he will always be my heart horse. Thanks to @cellardoorequestrian who I trust with my life, she has found him a perfect and loving new home, so I am not worried. I will miss him. Always.
No photos of us riding— that wasn’t the most important thing to me with him. Only pictures of us and our partnership because goddamn we were partners. He’s saved my ass in the saddle more times than he or I have spooked.
I’ll miss sharing apples. I taught him how to give me kisses on the cheek, and he was a good listener. I know his new owner will love him.
Please scroll all the way to the last two videos in this carousel— it’s him running in a huge field, happier than I’ve ever seen him, with the sunset so perfect in the background it looks like it was directed by Denis Villeneuve.
All this to say. I love you Drambuie Z aka Aragorn.
“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.” And my time with you was the best timeline. I’ll never be alone. 🖤 | Posted on 05/Dec/2024 03:01:49
