About Sayos Shining Sun

Sayos Shining Sun, the talented son of Shining Spark began his show career in Open Reining July 1999 as a three year old. In the next four months he had five wins with three 2nd’s, a 3rd place finish in nine shows, as he blew through the competition. He ended the 4th month placing 15th as a NRHA Futurity Finalist, besting 400 other entrants. During this stretch he earned $25,800.00 (Sayos performed in 22 NRHA Shows and won money 21 times). His NRHA Career culminated as a USET Finalist in 2003. After his successful three year old year, Sayos competed primarily in AQHA Reining Events. By the time Sayos was retired to stud at age seven, he had competed in 41 AQHA Shows.

After over three years in retirement at age ten, and clearly still competitive, Sayos was brought back to the show ring in 2006. He needed only 10 shows to achieve three wins, three 2nds and two 3rds. He ended the year with 5th Place in the prestigious FEI World Finals in Denver where teams of top riders from 20 countries participated. SAYOS WAS BACK!

In 2009 at age thirteen, Sayos is big, strong and in perfect health. Sayos qualified for the 2007 AQHA World Show. To date, he has competed in 53 AQHA Reining Events, has his Superior and has finished in the top three 45 percent of the time with 11 wins. He currently has 71 Reining Points.
