If you are looking for a seasoned, golden palomino partner who combines a naturally smooth gait, level-headed confidence, and true "golden retriever" friendliness, Little Southern Sunrise ("Aspen") is a rare find! Standing 14.1 hands high, this 11-year-old registered Missouri Fox Trotter gelding is a trusted, well-traveled companion who makes covering miles an absolute pleasure. 
Elite Gaited Royalty Pedigree: Directly sired by Sunrise's One-Eyed Pirate (tracing to Hall of Famer Southern Sunrise) and out of Remedy's Small Town Affair V., boasting iconic foundation bloodlines including Missouri Traveler E. 
Seasoned Mountain & Country Traveler: Extensively ridden through mountain trails and scenic country across Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. A proven partner from the Rockies to Midwest trails who lets you sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. 
One-Handed Handle & Ranch Working Skill: Features a great one-handed neck rein, soft mouth, and responsive leg cues. Side passes, backs up easily, stops and pivots on a dime, and steps right up to either side for easy mounting. Solid companion for moving and sorting cattle. 
"Golden Retriever" Barn Personality: Sweet, sensible disposition—always the first to greet you at the gate! Loads and hauls like a dream, making state-to-state travel and weekend trips effortless.
