With broken hearts and tear filled eyes we announce the passing of the most famous horse at RHR.
He was a Christmas gift to a tiny Sloan, and it was on that cold December morning when she walked into the barn and said “That look like a Unicorn.” From that moment on Diamond Warrior would be forever known as UNICORN. 🦄
Unicorn was Sloan’s first horse love, and her go to mount for everything! Rodeos, pony club, mountain rides, working buffalo, and any wild idea she had. It quickly became apparent there was nothing this pony couldn’t do.
Unicorn had a true passion for jumping and he reminded us of that every time trot poles and cavaletties came out. His adorable little ears perked up and he gracefully floated over anything put in front of him. He quickly mastered all of the gymkhana games and at times had more fun than his riders did…Unicorn was truly talented at anything he did and he made it impossible to ride him without a smile on your face.
As a family we are eternally grateful to Unicorn for being a true wonder pony. He was a beloved member of our family, and we cannot thank him enough ❤️. Our barn and our hearts will not be same without Unicorn.
We certainly know we are not the only ones broken hearted over his loss. Unicorn touched the hearts of every rider who swung a leg over his back. He taught countless kids how to ride and what it felt like to love a horse. We would love if you could share your memories, photos and videos of Unicorn. I can certainly think of a few that stand out!
