*Last Night, Some evil cruel must be a miserable piece of shit, with a loaded gunshot and killed a cricket, she was standing outside of the barn at my moms' farm, in Freeman, SD someone that will be caught had the balls to pull a trigger and shoot this horse in the neck! You will regret doing this! Everyone gets caught one way or another! Cricket, you were such a good horse! I never rode you as much as I should of, but you were a horse I was always proud to talk about! Ride on up there girl! ❤️
