"No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle!"

Sunshine (Bolovan), as I already mentioned, he is a Gidran. The Gidran Arabian breed was founded in 1785. Its history can be traced back to the stallion Siglavy Gidran, who was imported from Arabia in 1816. The breed was originally developed for use as cavalry horses. The Gidran Arabian is a large upstanding horse, solidly built, and exhibiting quality and class. It is suitable for competitive riding, being a good sports horse.

In appearance, they are attractive large horses, nearly always chestnut in color. The neck is refined. They stand at between 16-16,2 hh, although occasionally are as big as 17 hh.
