SRF's Silver Sundown

Nine year-old SRF’s Silver Sundown, is an awesome horse!  His temperament and intelligence are unsurpassed.  Silver is the horse of choice for the novice or amateur rider regardless of the discipline because he is so easy going and responsive.  He’s willing, gentle, and calm.  He is one of our favorite horses to ride on trails and to compete with in the show ring.  He can demonstrate the brilliance that attracts the Judge’s attention then come right back to the walk like he’s out for a Sunday stroll.

SRF’s Silver Sundown rose to top honors in 2012 at the RMH & KMSHA International, and the UMH World Show when he was awarded the Open Western Grand Championship title in all three associations. He was also ridden by his owner, Steve Heuslein, to Regional Trail and Regional Amateur Trail World Show wins.  When year-end accomplishments were tallied, Silver was awarded first place High Point awards for Adult Trail Obstacle, Adult Versatility, and Stallions Trail Pleasure.  Over the years SRF’s  Silver Sundown has also earned High Point Awards in the Amateur division, Trail Pleasure Championship, and for the High Money Horse.  While he is a very accomplished show ring competitor, he excels in many disciplines and in a variety of venues. 

Silver is a two time over-all High Point winner in his division the Three Phase Event.  It is a competition which combines dressage, stadium obstacle, and cross country scores.  He also received the AGMH High Point Horse Award at this event as well as the KMSHA Dressage award. Silver does a beautiful job at the American Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA) rides – his trainer, Charlie DeAtley received a perfect score at the last competition. 

At the RMHA International in 2010, Silver captured the coveted Rea Swan Versatility Award by winning his Conformation, Western, and Under Saddle classes.  That same year, Silver attained American Gaited Mountain Horse Platinum status for both Under Saddle and Versatility accomplishments.  These awards led to Silver’s induction into the American Gaited Mountain Horse Hall of Fame. Very few horses have risen to this level.  What an accomplishment!     

You won’t find a more versatile horse than SRF’s Silver Sundown. Through the years Silver has had a multitude of fabulous experiences.  He’s a winner in every venue – trail, show, versatility, and on and on.  He’s won in the show ring, he’s a winner on the trail, and he has even shown that winning attitude as the lead horse for the Mountain Rhythm Riders Drill Team where he demonstrated his willingness and talent.

His progeny are now under saddle and mirror their sire’s traits. Silver is the “complete package.” An evenly timed four beat gait, intelligence, temperament, conformation and that gorgeous chocolate color help make him all you could want as the sire of your next foal.  On the trail, in the show ring, or in the breeding shed, Silver performs like a true champion.
