Purchased from the Friars Stud in Wales by Sandy Costanzo O'Brien off
the field as a foal, and subsiquently imported the same year in 1991
into Canada. He has never been shown due to an eye injury. "Sunny"
comes from a line of champion and Royal Welsh winners. His full sister
was the very well known Royal Welsh champion Friars Mon Ami, retained
by the Friars Stud.
Friars Sunshine, his dam, was also the dam of Friars Sally who was the dam of the now deceased Friars Sweet William. A very big producer for the Stud here in North America, and who in his short life left many champion ponies behind him.
Friars Golden Charm is a full sister to Sunshine. Charm is the dam of Multi Supreme Champion Friars Brenin Dafydd, seen on this web site.
Sunny is a big extravagant mover standing a good 12hh. He runs out
in his pasture most of the time with his mares, and has been seen on
several occasions playing happily with the foals in his paddock. Since
his arrival, he has been on loan to Lianna's Stud in Toronto, Canada,
Calluna Welsh in Ontario, Canada, Gallod Stud in Manitoba, Canada, and
Mischief Acres in Michigan USA. producing some Quality foals in both
the breeding and performance category.
