Sonny at 3

Hard to believe that Sonny just had his 3rd birthday this month in October! He is no longer with his family band. He is now a full-fledged ‘bachelor’ stallion. As a 3 year old, he is currently hanging out with three other young bachelor stallions. It is also interesting to see his coloring change. He is truly a combination of his father – a dark bay with no markings, and his mother who is a light bay almost buckskin color.

Bachelors will continue on their own or with other bachelors until they are old enough and strong enough to steal a mare from another band. This coming of age is usually around 5 or 6 years old.
