RB Cavalier

1991 black stallion

In loving memory: 3/16/1991-3/17/2021, the horse that started it all.

When I was 13 years old, I dreamed of owning an Arabian stallion. I had suffered a spinal injury that made me seek a “safer” path with horses than jumping and settled on this wild idea. I asked my mother to agree to feed my stallion if I could buy him on my own, I found a friend (thank you Deanna Angell) to help me travel and select him, and I secured funding from a 3rd party via a crudely formed business plan. Retrospectively, I appreciate my mother’s initial, absolute shock when I showed up with RB Cavalier at the farm. That was 19 years ago.

I didn’t imagine then, despite my absolute ardor for him, the impact he would have on not only my life, but countless others too. He was kind beyond measure, endlessly forgiving, empathetic, and strong. He set the trajectory of my life.

He met every ask with without reservation and those asks were numerous:

When I dreamed of showing on the Arabian circuit, he carried me to my first championship, my first regional win, and my first national performance tile.

When I struggled to navigate the complexities of my teen years, he introduced me to friends at horse shows, became my shoulder to cry on, and helped me find confidence. I was even leading him at a horse show when I met Ryan Moore.

When I asked him to introduce others to the magic of horses, he carried over 100 first time riders of all ages.

When I wanted to become a breeder, he gave me my first foal.

When I wanted to ride without the encumbrance of a saddle, or bridle, or halter he carried me at liberty without hesitation.

When his days in western pleasure needed to come to an end, he shifted gears to dressage, sport horse, and trail because I wanted to try new things together and he won in all those divisions.

When I went to college and needed to earn money, he paid for his own care.

When I dreamed of riding down the aisle, he carried me on my wedding day.

When I asked him, he modeled for dozens of photoshoots no matter how unusual the props were.

When I was very ill and struggled physically to get to the barn, he supported me so I could give him one last hug before I went to the hospital.

When I asked him to look out for my nieces and nephews, he took care of them and donned glitter and braids and paint and sparkly rubber bands.

When I asked him to teach two of my nieces and one of my nephews how to ride, he carried them all in lessons.

When I started my first job, he met me at home at the end of every day at our first house.

When I asked him to ride on the trails with me, he galloped freely.

When I asked him to be a companion to our weanlings, he let them climb all over him and helped us halter break them.

When his body was tired, I asked him for a quiet place to lay and he obliged so I could lay on his back while he grazed in his pasture.

And last night, when his body could give no more, I asked him to let go. And he did.

For the last 10 years or so of his life we rarely used a halter. He followed us willingly, no matter where we went or what we asked. He was always a bit playful, but never unkind. In all those years, in hundreds of rides together, he never let me fall.

I know this hard day would eventually come. It’s all part of the happiness and heartache that we experience when we love fully. He is the reason that horses are in my life and the lives of many others today via their personal experiences with him or his descendants. I wouldn’t have wanted to go on this journey with any other soul.

Rest in peace sweet Cav.
