CINNAMON – A Truly Exceptional, Once-in-a-Lifetime Brabant–Quarter Horse Cross
8-Year-Old | 16 Hands | Brabant × Quarter Horse Gelding | English, Western, Driving & Trick Trained
Every once in a while, a horse comes along that possesses such an extraordinary combination of beauty, temperament, talent, and versatility that you know you are looking at something truly special. Cinnamon is unquestionably one of those horses. This magnificent 8-year-old, 16-hand Brabant–Quarter Horse cross gelding is the kind of horse that people spend years searching for and rarely have the opportunity to own. With his incredibly stout build, distinctive and unusual coloring, beautiful, kind expression, and substantial presence, Cinnamon is absolutely breathtaking. But as impressive as he is to look at, it is his remarkable disposition, exceptional training, and willingness to please that truly set him apart.
Cinnamon has all the substance, strength, and impressive bone that make the Brabant breed so desirable, beautifully complemented by the athleticism, responsiveness, and versatility of the Quarter Horse. He is a big, powerful horse with an incredibly gentle nature, offering that highly sought-after combination of size and substance without sacrificing softness or rideability. His sweet face and affectionate personality only add to his appeal. Cinnamon is not simply a horse you admire from a distance; he is the kind you develop a genuine partnership with and look forward to spending time with every single day.
UNDER SADDLE – REFINED, RESPONSIVE & AN ABSOLUTE DREAM TO RIDE
For a horse of his size and substantial build, Cinnamon is an exceptionally beautiful mover. His gaits are wonderfully smooth and comfortable, giving his rider the feeling of sitting on a horse that moves with effortless rhythm and balance. He is extremely well broke in the arena and has received the kind of training that makes riding enjoyable rather than complicated.
Cinnamon rides beautifully in both English and Western tack, making him an outstanding choice for someone who enjoys multiple disciplines. He will collect into a lovely frame, maintain a balanced and comfortable lope, and willingly move off your leg cues. He is soft, responsive, and attentive to his rider, with a wonderful willingness to understand what is being asked of him.
Whether you enjoy the refinement of English riding or prefer the relaxed feel of a Western saddle, Cinnamon transitions comfortably between the two. He has the movement and presence to turn heads wherever he goes, yet he remains quiet, sensible, and enjoyable to ride. His combination of beautiful movement, exceptional comfort, and responsiveness makes him especially appealing to riders who appreciate a horse that is both talented and a pleasure to sit on.
ON THE TRAILS – CONFIDENT, STEADY & EXPERIENCED
As impressive as Cinnamon is in the arena, he is every bit as enjoyable when you take him out into the countryside. This is a horse that genuinely knows how to navigate the outdoors and has the confidence and experience to make trail riding a pleasure.
Cinnamon willingly crosses creeks, steps over downed trees, navigates uneven terrain, and carefully makes his way down steep hills before climbing right back up the other side. He approaches trail obstacles with a sensible attitude and a willingness to go wherever his rider asks. His substantial build and comfortable movement make him an especially enjoyable mount for spending time exploring the trails.
One of Cinnamon's most desirable qualities is his ability to remain content regardless of his position in a group. He is perfectly happy leading the way, traveling quietly in the middle, or bringing up the rear. He doesn't need to be at the front of the group to be satisfied, nor does he become unsettled when asked to ride in a different position. Wherever you place him, Cinnamon is happy to settle into his job and enjoy the ride.
Whether you want to spend a quiet afternoon exploring wooded trails, navigate more challenging terrain, or simply enjoy a leisurely ride with friends, Cinnamon has the experience and temperament to make those moments memorable.
BROKE TO DRIVE – ANOTHER DIMENSION OF HIS INCREDIBLE VERSATILITY

The ability to confidently enjoy a horse both under saddle and in harness opens up an entirely different world of possibilities. Whether your passion is riding English, Western, exploring the trails, or enjoying a beautiful carriage drive, Cinnamon offers the opportunity to experience it all with one exceptional horse.
TRICK TRAINED – BEAUTY, BRAINS & AN INCREDIBLE PERSONALITY

He is truly the kind of horse that offers so much more than just a ride. He offers an opportunity to build a wonderful partnership, enjoy a variety of activities, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALITY – THE KIND OF HORSE YOU BECOME ATTACHED TO
While Cinnamon's appearance and training are undeniably impressive, his personality may be his greatest quality of all.
Despite his substantial size and powerful build, Cinnamon is an incredibly sweet, quiet, and affectionate horse who genuinely enjoys being around people. He loves attention and has the kind of gentle, willing disposition that makes him a pleasure to have in the barn.
He is easy to catch, gets along beautifully with other horses in the pasture, and is straightforward to handle in his everyday routine. Cinnamon also loads and hauls exceptionally well, making traveling with him simple and enjoyable.
There is something particularly special about a horse that combines this much talent and ability with such an easygoing personality. Cinnamon is not the kind of horse you only enjoy when you are in the saddle. He is one you look forward to seeing in the pasture, bringing into the barn, grooming, and spending time with simply because you enjoy his company.
A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL
Finding a horse with Cinnamon's unusual coloring, impressive size, beautiful movement, and gentle disposition would be exciting enough on its own. Finding one that is also exceptionally well broke to ride English and Western, experienced on the trails, trained to drive, and knows entertaining tricks makes him that much more extraordinary.
Cinnamon offers the kind of versatility that allows his next owner to enjoy so many different aspects of horsemanship without needing a different horse for every activity. He has the substance and presence of a magnificent draft cross, the responsiveness and athleticism of a well-trained riding horse, and the affectionate personality of a cherished family companion.
He is the kind of horse that can make an ordinary afternoon feel extraordinary, whether you're enjoying a beautiful ride through the countryside, working in the arena, hitching up for a carriage drive, or simply standing beside him enjoying his company.
