🕊️ Obituary: Bet Hesa Ginnin (2016–2025)
With deep gratitude and heavy hearts, we bid farewell to the incredible stallion, Bet Hesa Ginnin. A 2016 chestnut roan AQHA stallion standing 14.3 hands tall, Bet Hesa Ginnin was the embodiment of heart, grit, and athleticism — the kind of once-in-a-lifetime horse that leaves a mark far beyond the arena.
Sired by Bet Hesa Cat and out of Ginnin Stoli (by Stoli), “Ginnin” was a true competitor whose career highlights include:
- $5,428 in lifetime earnings
- 2019 NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity 3YO 50K Intermediate Open Money-Earner
- 2021 Colorado State Fair Futurity 4/5YO Open Money-Earner
- 2022 Colorado AQHA Ranching Heritage 5/6YO Open Working Ranch Horse Champion
- 2022 Colorado State Fair Futurity Open Two-Rein Spectacular Rein Work Co-Reserve Champion
- 2022 Colorado State Fair Futurity Open Fence Work Reserve Champion
- 2022 Panhandle Reined Cow Horse Association Spring Fling Open Two-Rein Champion
- 2022 Heritage Days Reined Cow Horse Classic Open Two-Rein Champion
Beyond his impressive accolades, Ginnin was known for his boundless heart. He gave everything he had — every run, every turn, every stride. His final run at the San Angelo Rodeo, where he clocked the fastest time of the entire rodeo and won the second round, stands as a fitting tribute to his endless try and undeniable spirit.
To those who knew him, Ginnin was far more than a champion. He carried dreams, built legacies, and captured hearts with every step. His soul, full of grace and grit, will be remembered far longer than any scoreboard.
Owned and loved by Premier Rope Horses LLC, Bet Hesa Ginnin leaves behind a lasting legacy — one built not only on success but on heart, courage, and the immeasurable bond between a horse and his people.
Run free, Ginnin. You were, and always will be, one of the great ones.
