SONIEK aka Sunny

Sunny was super easy to back! He even started work when I was 6.5/7months pregnant!! He has a good walk, active trot but his best pace has got to be his canter! Super balanced and Uphill! He could canter all day long he is currently doing ground work ready to be sat on again.

​

Sunny is by Oldenburg licensed and performance tested stallion Santo Hit. Santo Hit is a textbook example of the modern day dressage horse. His temperament, movement and appearance make Santo Hit a sucessful competition and breeding stallion and an ideal choice for breeders.
