Rugged Painted Lark Officially Retires at Equitana USA October 1-3, 2021

Lynn Palm and her American Paint Horse, Rugged Painted Lark, will say farewell during their clinics and evening show, EQUUS Evolution, at Equitana USA.

Rugged Painted Lark is no stranger to the spotlight. Bruce, as he is affectionately known, is a 1997 son of the famed American Quarter Horse, Rugged Lark. His stellar lineage coupled with Palm’s careful training has earned Bruce a myriad of accolades. Some of those include entertaining at the 2007 BreyerFest, multiple magazine covers, coffee table books, television shows, bridleless performances at prestigious events and most notably, the 2010 World Equestrian Games.

Having followed in his father’s footsteps, Rugged Painted Lark performed at the FEI World Cup in 2017 and now Equitana USA. Rugged Lark performed at each of these prestigious events more than 20 years ago. Rugged Painted Lark was also fashioned into a Breyer model just as Rugged Lark. Appropriately, his last appearance will be at the Kentucky Horse Park where he starred as BreyerFest’s Celebration Horse in 2007 and performed at the 2010 WEG Equine Village.

So few of the collector’s edition Breyers remain, so make plans to meet Rugged Painted Lark and Lynn Palm during their clinics, take photos and to be one of the lucky ones to obtain an autographed limited edition Rugged Painted Lark Breyer.
