Sugar is the Granddaughter of Midnight Sun and Spirit of Midnight, half sister to Ray Corums top Stallions.  Don states Sugar is the smoothest of all of our horses, high praise indeed.  She has proven to be a great all-around mare.  She hit a lick from the very first ride.
Gentle enough for the youngest riders, and beautiful for the showring.
