A Freckled Relic, aka Sunny, is a 14.1 hand, 2020 AQHA palomino gelding that is by Playboys Lightnin, LTE $2.5k in NCHA (Freckles Playboy, OE $24.56+ million) and out of Sunny Day Jewell (Colonel Freckles JR).
Sunny is a simple man with simple needs! Very cute, stout palomino gelding ready to cover some country. Sunny is incredibly laid back and has had a slow and easy start to riding life. He was started last year, had the winter off, and we jumped on him this spring with no trouble at all! Sunny is so basic he probably orders Starbucks while wearing black leggings sporting a sweatshirt that says, ‘It’s Fall Ya’ll’.
Sunny is currently with a trainer to get a refresher and introduced to breakaway. He has been ranched on and very lightly started in the box. Sunny may not be ‘fancy’ broke just yet, but he does everything a good citizen should do. He’ll side pass, cross water and isn’t afraid out on the trail. Sunny knows his leads and crosses any obstacle that ranch life brings his way. Trailing cattle and crossing the swamp isn’t an issue for this golden boy!
No funny business and has great ground manners, good for farrier/ grooming, and tacking up. Sunny is simply a happy being a horse and would love to be someone’s main mount that can appreciate his simple way of life.
While Sunny may not have a future as a high caliber performance horse, he has potential to take you to weekend shows and have the time of your life. Due to his young age and inconsistent professional training, we feel he is best suit for a more experienced rider that can put some miles on him. With a bit of time partnered with his cool as a cucumber disposition, the potential is there to be a good fit for a lower level rider.
Prior to our ownership of Sunny, he did have an accident with a net bale feeder which left his adult front teeth flawed. Does not require any special feeding and will eat from a hay net, simply cosmetic. Sunny has a big strong bone under him and a classic quarter horse, bulldog build. He needs a forever home to love him for who he is.
