I think my old horse Sunny deserves to be STEED OF THE WEEK!! I was given Sunny at the age of 20yrs old thinking he wouldn't last long (he was in a sad neglected state). Well I think the 15yrs I had with him were the best of his and my life!! We did a number of shows including the Royal show at the age of 26yrs.(4th at the Royal in a class of 11) & (won Champion Gelding at Swan View aged 27) We did a 20km social ride at 27yrs. Lots of galloping at the beach and just enjoyed his later years of life. Sunny was a dream horse when my kids come along lots of horsey rides, cuddles and carrots. Sadly 6th March 2007 the day came that every horse owner hopes never happens, he was found down and unable to get up. After the vet came I had to make the hardest decision of my life to have my best mate put to sleep. RIP Sunny aged 35yrs think of you everyday old horsey. By the way he was a STANDARDBRED. Photo taken at age of 33yrs old Sunny at front with Flashing Star behind.
I hope my dear old horsey makes it to STEED OF THE WEEK.
Thanks for your time. Cheers Simone Johnson
