Are you looking for that all-in-one versatile family horse? We think Sunrise could be the one. This 2020 sorrel gelding stands at a near-perfect 15 hands, dressed in four white socks and a bald face that makes him absolutely unforgettable. His sharp conformation and athletic build are paired with a kind, gentle eye and a presence that always turns heads. From his looks to his breeding to his personality, Sunrise truly has it all. Sunrise is every bit as enjoyable to be around as he is to ride. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word, whether in the barn or out in the pasture, always meeting you at the gate with a bright expression and eager for scratches and attention. He is steady, patient, and safe, making him a horse that can be enjoyed by riders of all levels. From kids just starting out, to seniors wanting a dependable trail partner, to advanced riders looking for a horse with ability and buttons, Sunrise adjusts to his rider and gives his all. This gelding has been ridden safely on state roads in traffic, has spent countless hours on the trails, and takes on any terrain you point him toward. He will cross water, step over logs, and handle steep hills going up or down with confidence. His smooth, easy gaits—from walk to extended trot to lope—are comfortable enough to enjoy all day long. He knows his leads, carries a soft one-hand neck rein, performs lead changes, and has been used to check cows and fence lines. He is well desensitized to tarps, jugs, whips, and even gunshots, making him steady and dependable in nearly any situation. Best of all, Sunrise does not need to be kept in a steady program to remain your trusted partner. Adding to all this is his outstanding pedigree. Sunrise is an own son of Electric Snow, whose offspring have earned over $480,000, and his lineage goes back to the Hall of Fame sire Shining Spark. On the dam’s side, he traces to the legendary Smart Chic Olena, another Hall of Fame horse. With this foundation, Sunrise has the ability and talent to take into the show pen, yet he is quiet and dependable enough to be enjoyed by kids and grandkids on a weekend trail ride. That kind of versatility is hard to find. Our own children have ridden him all over the farm, and Sunrise enjoyed every minute with them. He is good in the wash bay, stands quietly for the farrier, and is up to date on dental care, vaccinations, and deworming. From his looks, his pedigree, his training, and his willing-to-please personality, Sunrise is a horse that can fit a wide variety of needs. You could show him one day, hit the trails the next, and trust him with the kids the day after that. If you have been searching for a horse that truly checks every box, Sunrise could fit the bill.
