🐴 FMF Sullivan aka Sully

📍 Full Moon Farm of Finksburg, Maryland

🍎 Favorite Treat: He doesn't turn down a treat, but probably apples!

✔Sully is special because he is in tune with everything around him, even if he's stoic about it. He will do whatever it takes to get the job done and take care of his rider. Sully teaches students how to be more technical and effective riders, and he is the very best at teaching riders how to properly sit the trot! Sully has been referred to as the "King of Kings" by the students and they're not wrong!
