2016 was Sunny’s first season out competing and just like his sire, he is proving to be the ultimate dual-purpose stallion.
He is competing in Dressage, Show Jumping, and Horse Trials. Only lower levels currently but showing much technique and scope and always with his wonderfully quiet and gentle temperament.
Results from his season:
- Completing Moora Horse Trails laying 3rd overnight on his dressage
- 6th at WA State Dressage Championships just one week after Moora
- 5th at Brigadoon Horse Trails…
- This year he has completed 4 horse trials to date, with 3 placings after dressage and his most recent run at Wooroloo CNC he placed 2nd over all in a huge open class of 31
He is worked daily with horses including mares with no fuss at all.
Sunny seems to stamp his foals with his strong looks and good movement as well as flashy loud markings where the Sabino gene gained from his sire is coming through.
Sunny is suitable over all types of mares but especially for refining large old-fashioned types and to add movement and a little height to native pony types too.
Dam-
Im Sundays Silhouette was one of just a handful (if that) of Purebred Appaloosas to have been successfully competed at International Level Grand Prix Dressage.
This was no fluke on her part either since her Sire, Im Sundays Sensation also competed at this elite level under breeder and rider Jaqui Winspear back in their home country of New Zealand.
Silhouette was selected for two Olympics and competed in Australia on numerous occasions, where she had a huge fan base of enthusiastic followers.
She was a very sweet easy mare, full of life and sparkle with the heart of a lion. She also had the most impressive movement any warmblood breeder would die for
Sire-
Highfield Vivaldi was brought to WA in 2005 a few months after we emigrated from England. He had been my schoolmaster previously and had taken me hunting, jumping, and dressage.
Vivaldi’s owners and breeders at Highfield Stud had competed Vivaldi to a very competitive level both in showjumping (to C Grade) and in Dressage (to Advanced) He had just started his FEI work when I bought him
Vivaldi competed successfully in the Show ring and lightly in Dressage. Whilst I was having my family we sent him to Deon Stokes to take Eventing. He seemed to really enjoy this new sport at the grand age of 14 and continued for 3 more seasons before he sadly died in March 2010 from a ruptured aorta. He had only been eventing just weeks before. He had been fit and healthy right up until that day.
Vivaldi leaves behind a large legacy of stock across Australia including Im so Special and 4 other fillies we have retained at Primrose Court.
Vivaldi was widely used for pretty much everything including State champion show hacks, dressage, and jumping horses. He was the ultimate dual-purpose Sports Horse.
