Vale Ramadan Arabian Hafiid The passing of Ramadan Arabian Hafiid (Sonny) has saddened all who knew and loved him. He was an Arabian legend. From the time he was born, Sonny showed amazing courage. His dam, Tristram Purette died when he was only a week old. He had to be hand raised and learn to drink out of a bucket. After a few years, it was clear that Sonny needed to be broken in and worked. He was bored and took to ripping the rugs off his own back and tossing his feed bin around his paddock so it became a daily hide and seek to find where he had flung it. Sonny displayed a natural instinct around cattle, and his ability to out run, out turn the mobs made him stand out at camp drafts. He had a strong, nuggety build with excellent bone, short back and feet like dinner plates. He won Australian Champion working stock horse twice and was once reserve. This record has not been beaten to date. He took out the jack pot barrel race a few times at the Australian Championships, clocking up great speeds. He always scored well in dressage, he had lovely paces. Sonny was always a gentleman in a saddle class line up and never put a foot wrong in a work out. Sonny was awarded five Elwyn Bligh buckles and was named stallion of the year on two occasions and appeared on the on the front cover of Arabian Studs and Stallions Sonny’s legacy lives on in his most successful offspring is The Real McCoy, (Macca) Australian Champion Arabian Stock Horse, led and ridden. Macca is still winning in the show ring and was 2011 Challenge Champion Arabian Stock horse. Macca was successful in the reining arena with John Wicks who started him under saddle. You have left us Sonny, but we will never forget you.
