Hard to believe that one year has already come around already with having Penny in our lives!
It’s been a whirlwind - with a pandemic, the bride busting her knee at 38 weeks and then requiring knee surgery 2 weeks after you arrived🤯

None better have graced the turf in New Zealand in my opinion than Sunline!

Beat genuine G1 horses like Fairy King Prawn, Northerly, Diatribe & Tie The Knot just to name a few.
