This is a must sell. Sun is the most wonderful pony ,easy to handle and loves to be worked. Not a mean bone even when the Cow assults him as seen below, or the puppies lick his nose. He is ACPS approved with very good or excellent marks in all areas. He has received multiple champions inhand. 6 months of professional training and showing in 2011. Sire of 6 buckskin foals. I could ask for a better stallion and would be lucky to find one if I did. Contact for terms of purchase only if you truly want this beautiful stallion in your breeding program, this is not easy for me it due to a deteriorating spine I must sell. He has shown ,Inhand, English,Western, Trail inhand,and Dressage. He has jumping training jumping up to 2 very easily,was not in training long enough to jump high than that yet. 5096754615

The cow attack seems to be an attempt to show how easy going he is, but I would think there are other ways to do that.
I can just imagine the logic that must go with thinking people are going to want to see *a picture of the horse being assaulted by a cow* to prove his worthiness of being purchased.
“Honey, c’mon, looka this one. Ain’t he pretty?”
“I TOLD you, Barbara, we ain’t gonna get another horse ta feed.”
“Just hold on two shakes of a lamb’s tail, Bob, this one’s bein’ sexually assaulted.”
“O.O Yep. Yep, that’s a keeper all right.”
