This was an exciting year, says Ronda Hilker; SunRise Productions founder and producer. Shane & I both work very hard, catering to our SunRise Stallion Owners and Sponsors who’ve put & have kept their faith in our program.  We do what it takes to keep our Stallion Owners happy, they provide fantastic opportunity to all the people who breed, buy, break, train, race & show our foals. We provide a central location to run at some decent purse monies. This takes “team effort” plus a lot of hard work, on behalf of our barrel setters; ground crew & office workers, there are no words to describe how grateful we are. Thank You All & God Bless.
