Sweet Rugged Solano – $17,500
2021 AQHA palomino gelding
Sunny is a 4-year-old gelding with a teddy bear personality and a soft spot for kids! He has good size and bone, a big stop, easy lead changes, and a quiet demeanor that make him an excellent choice to go to the next level in ranch versatility, roping, reining, or high school rodeo. He also rides out quietly on the trail and crosses water and obstacles with ease.
