Breeder: Frank Volpe
Born in 2002 in New Jersey, Sunny Irish Skies is a distinguished dark bay Thoroughbred gelding with classic bloodlines and a steady presence. While details of his racing connections are limited, what defines Sunny most is not statistics — but spirit.
Like many Thoroughbreds, Sunny’s journey carried him through multiple chapters before finding permanent sanctuary. As he entered his senior years, he needed a safe and stable place where his comfort and long-term well-being would be the priority.
He found that home at Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue.
Sunny embodies the quiet wisdom that often accompanies age. Thoughtful and observant, he prefers the simple rhythms of sanctuary life — sunshine in the pasture, steady companionship, and consistent care. His calm demeanor brings balance to the herd and offers a grounding presence within the barn.
Today, Sunny lives peacefully among our lifelong residents, valued not for what he once did, but for who he is. At LOHR, he is safe, respected, and home — exactly as every horse deserves to be.
