PRESLEY

Presley is a companion to Rising Sun, with the two being spectacular horses- glowing as soon as they jumped off Carla’s trailer. After taking so many bays and brown mustangs this year it’s nice to see a flash of color. Rising Sun is so similar to Autumn it’s hard to imagine they aren’t family and that’s incredibly exciting. Presley is gorgeous and showing all the dun factor traits - the dorsal stripe, leg barring and two tone mane. He’s was looking skinny, after spending a few weeks in quarantine with Stephanie, but these days is looking much healthier and happier. All he needed was some feet trims, wormer and maybe a hair stylist for Sun. It’s so often the case that people try to tidy up a matted mane by just hacking it off for auction, so we’re quick ecstatic to see just how thick and full it came back in. Presley simply looks so majestic these days. #skydogpresley

Mustangs & Burros Need Your Help
