Goodluck Suncat: From Wild to World Champion
Untouched to world champion in less than 72 hours? That's the story of Goodluck Suncat, newly nicknamed Rumor. Tik Maynard, defending world champion, partnered with this borderline feral, three-year-old Quarter Horse at the 2025 Road to the Horse to clinch the World Championship of Colt Starting. Tik (of Copperline Equestrian) and Chelsea Canedy (of Unexpected Farm and proud new owner of this cuddle bug) join me to give the inside scoop of Rumor's personality and dish on what it takes to turn a green youngster into a champion. Spoiler alert: it’s not just talent—it’s trust, timing, and a touch of luck.
