SUN HUNTER
NAMED NTRA AFTERCARE
HORSE OF THE MONTH
FOR JANUARY

Sun Hunter may not be a stakes winner, or a big money earner, but he has certainly made an impression on his adopters, who have found his patience and personaity just perfect for their young grandaughter. The NTRA Aftercare Program found him to be as wonderful as we thought he was, and has named him their Horse of the Month. Check him out at http://www.ntraaftercare.com/node/176.
