Sunny is basically bombproof on the ground — nothing phases him. He’s calm and steady around dogs, farm equipment, tractors, ATVs, and general farm chaos. He’s confident, curious, and very people-oriented.
He also has a very independent personality — not herd-bound, and just as happy riding alone as he is with a buddy. He’s top of the pecking order in the pasture but respectful and easy to manage.
Sunny was shown in 4-H earlier in life and had a good start, but after his previous owner suffered a heart attack, he sat for several years. Because of that, he doesn’t remember much of his past training and is basically starting fresh under saddle.
He rides well in a fenced-in pasture, but in open fields, he can get a little excited and may try to take off. He’s not spooky or dangerous — just needs miles and a confident rider who can give him structure and consistency as he relearns.
✅ Lunges well
✅ Barefoot and sound
✅ Great with dogs & farm equipment
✅ Not herd-bound — very independent
✅ Easy keeper and respectful on the ground
Sunny would make a great project horse for an experienced rider or someone working with a trainer. He has a kind heart, a good brain, and all the groundwork to become a wonderful partner again.
I’m not in a rush to sell — I just want him to go to a good home where he’ll be well taken care of and get lots of love. He deserves someone who will give him the time, attention, and partnership he’s ready for.
