Reference: Golden Sunshine |
Golden Sunshine F-44 (gelded in 1929),
out of Golden Lady, was the only yellow foundation horse out of 115
foundation horses recognized by the TWHBEA. Golden Sunshine's most famous son,
Barker's Moonbeam, was called "the foundation sire of
the Palomino Walking Horse" in 1948 by Dr. H. Arthur Zappe, secretary of
the Palomino Horse Breeders of America.
"Burt's daughter, Jean Hunter, remembers well her family's golden horses
and described Golden Sunshine F-44 to me in vivid detail. "He was the most
unusual color you've ever seen," she says. "You could put a gold dollar up
against him and stand back in the sun, and you couldn't see the dollar.
And he had white skin and yellow eyes. His mother, Golden Lady, was the
same way."
