Welcome to Sonza Paint Horses
Sonza Paint Horses was established in 1999 when we bred Broken Mills Painted Lady, our first Paint Horse, to One Moore Jessie. The result was Artistic Eclipse, a bay Paint Bred gelding born in the spring of 2000. As they say, the rest is history. Gill has always had a keen interest in horses and chose Paints as the breed to pursue, due to their laid back temperaments, versatility and unique colour markings. We are only a small stud; our emphasis is on quality not quantity.
Gill and John’s son Hayden has been interested in the breeding aspect of our stud operations for several years now. He is always researching bloodlines and genetics to make sure Sonza Paint Horses maintain a steady course in our very selective breeding program. Although our focus is presently on competing in halter, we value breeding versatile Paint Horses that have the aptitude to excel in multiple disciplines. Our goal is to breed horses with the substance, style and structure to compete in halter and the movement and soundness to later compete under saddle. We acknowledge that Paint Horses, related to the American Quarter Horse, should also have the utility, intelligence, disposition and athleticism required to succeed in other highly demanding disciplines.
Please take the time to look through our pages and take a look at our quality horses. We regularly have stock for sale and are always open to offers, so if you are interested in anything don’t hesitate to give us a call.
