Owned by David James of James Ranch, Promise Of The Sun comes from a long line of winners and producers and continues to carry that legacy on with his offspring.

The stunning 2012 buckskin stallion is by MP Jet To The Sun out of Pie Sky Promises, a proven dam with progeny earnings in excess of $500,000.

From his first foal crop, Apache Promise is Promise Of The Sun’s leading money earner with lifetime earnings of $151,656. The talented mare already owned a record as the first head horse to win a futurity and a go-round at the National Finals Rodeo and added to her earnings with three-straight go-round wins at the 2025 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo with Clay Smith.

Smith also shows James’ A Magical Promise, who finished sixth at the ARHFA Fort Worth, earning in excess of $10,000.

“Promise Of The Sun is already a proven sire with a limited number of foals to date,” James said. “He consistently sires foals with good bone, size and a good dose of the right kind of speed.”
