"With horses, there is an important member of the herd that leads by example, shows no ambition to dominate, and whose age, wisdom, and personality causes them to gain the respect of the entire herd. That herd member is the 'Passive Leader.' That herd member was Sonny."
Sonny was a 1989 Registered Appaloosa gelding. He was very laid-back, friendly, and sweet. He was a show horse in his younger years and was also used for trail riding.
Sonny was laid to rest on June 4, 2007. He was 18 years old and had arthritis.
