How it
all Began
Sinner and Lori McCutcheon-Benetz,
President LCR
"Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar"... Bradley Miller
"Sinner ", show name "Chancing It". He started it all...from the first day I saw him, he was sick and in need of TLC. Sinner was the first horse I saved...he was a magnificent 16.2 hand black beauty! He had
foundered and was not able to be ridden. After more than one year of ups and downs his owner said he wasn't going to give him any more time to heal. Sinner was to leave that day on a truck headed for the auction and probably the meat market when my parents bought him for me. It took time, money and a lot of care but he was worth it. In return Sinner gave me almost 20 years of memories...showing, giving lessons, trail riding, teaching the handicapped, we even went to college together. We vacationed together...he was part of the family...but most of all, he was my best friend!
Sinner eventually developed
Navicular. Through many different remedies and treatments we kept him comfortable for years. Sadly he could
endure no more, his feet gave up on him and we had to make the difficult decision to let him go. He rests in peace now with his memories and his good deeds
to live on forever.
True Companionship, Unity and Trust
