“Emmas Shining Sun” - 2018 Palomino AQHA Gelding - 15.2 Hands 

 

“Sunny” is a classy gelding with a gorgeous color that will get you noticed! Sunny has been on many steep mountain trails and goes through rushing streams with ease. He is very predictable on the trails, whether he is leading or at the back of the line. He has a smooth lope, neck reins, and responds to leg pressure. Sunny is an easy keeper, has a great disposition, and is easy to shoe and load in the trailer. He has been on our ranch for over a year and is a dependable mount to use on the ranch or trails! 

 

Pedigree: Emmas Shining Sun is a 2018 palomino stallion bred with a foundation ranch horse pedigree built around proven Driftwood, Leo, and Valentine bloodlines. He is sired by Drifting Rocket Leo, a son of Mr Rocket Leo and grandson of Rocket Echo, combining multiple generations of traditional ranch and rope horse breeding. His dam, Gumbo Roany Bowette, traces to Gumbo Roany, a noted high-percentage roan producer known through Beecher Ranch breeding programs for producing ranch and arena horses. The bottom side also carries the influence of the historic Valentine program through Valentine Rosebud, along with Poco breeding through Poco Bowette. Additional notable horses throughout the pedigree include High Rolling Roany, Jae Bar Meleo, and Driftin Heidi, representing established AQHA ranch and using horse bloodlines that have remained influential in western performance programs for generations.
