Adoption Overview $3,500

Sunset Dragunn

Sunset Dragunn is an RRP eligible 11-year-old dark bay Thoroughbred gelding standing just over 16 hands. This handsome warhorse boasts 62 starts and more than $250,000 in winnings. By Bold Chieftain, out of Luke’s Finest (by Indian Charlie), Dragunn has a wealth of experience and is looking for a loving forever home.

Dragunn retired sound from the track in September of 2024. Our veterinarians advise that he is best suited for a lower-level riding home (no jumping) based on fetlock x-rays (available upon request for serious inquiries). With his classic good looks, uphill build, and floaty gaits, we think he would make a perfect lower-level dressage mount. He is up to date on vaccinations and dental care and does not currently require any additional maintenance.

Dragunn is a smart, sensitive horse. He has been ridden W/T/C by a few different people while under our care. He had only been with us for about a month when he was used as demonstration horse for the mounted archery performance at UC Davis Horse Day. He handled the unfamiliar location, grandstand full of people, galloping horses, and sounds (including a cymbal) beautifully and impressed all of us with his professionalism.

His perfect person is an intermediate level and above rider in a training program. This rider is calm, confident, and consistent. Dragunn appreciates clear, fair expectations, and patience while he is figuring out what is being asked. He is a one-person kind of horse and is not suitable for a lesson program. He has a very sweet temperament and is a favorite among our volunteers. We are confident that he will blossom with the right person!
