Sonnyboy
Sonnyboy is a palomino Quarter Horse with one blue eye (called a glass eye) and one brown eye. He stands about 14.3 hands and is a former hunter/jumper pony from the Wellington area of South Florida.
Sonnyboy is a rescue. We were told he’d had a terrible accident and would never jump again. When he arrived in September 2015, he would only walk. With turnout 24 hours a day on our large pasture, light riding in the soft sand of the arena, and Kool ‘n Fit liniment on his stifles and front pasterns, his hind end grew stronger. Before long he was trotting, cantering, and even hopping over the 20-inch dressage arena rails on his own.
Personality: Sonnyboy is sweet and a little lazy. But when a rider gives clear, correct aids and asks him to trot, this little horse seems to grow and go big.
We think his registered name is “He’s the One for Me,” or maybe “He’s the Man for Me.” Either way, he has his home for life.
