 Jetstar's
Sunrider, affectionately known as "Rambo" was originally registered as
a chestnut, but he was actually a chocolate (sooty) palomino. He was
foaled in 1986, a son of Merry Man's
Charm a direct daughter of Sun's Merry Man. Sun's Merry Man was
one of only four offspring by Reycliff Mid-Merry, better known as the
show horse, Hill's Perfection, and the ONLY offspring to reproduce.
Sunrider produced only
three foals before he was gelded: Sunrider's Gold Boot (palomino
stallion), Blue Gold
(cremello stallion), and Sunrider's Delight (palomino gelding).

Memories of Jetstar's Sunrider
By Karen
Johnson
Rambo
was his stable name that his owner called him. He belonged
to a man in Wheatridge. I was in Denver looking through
the horse ads and came across his ad. He wanted someone to
train his stallion in exchange for a year's lease on the
stallion. Rambo hadn't been registered yet, so that was
part of the agreement that we took care of the paper work.
He was a very gentle stallion and liked to watch our young
children at play across the fence.
He once chased
an elk out of our pasture, I wish I had photos of that!!
Soon after we returned Rambo in January of 1990, his
owner gelded him.
