Solar Evie is a young mare with all the ingredients of something special, and from the moment she stepped into the sale ring, she demanded attention.
Purchased by Sheree Pratt for $90,000 through the Nutrien sale, Evie was secured off respected horseman Jay Pearce, but not before strong interest and careful consideration. As a three-year-old, she stood out immediately, not just for her presence, but for the way she carried herself. Morgan Webb recalls her as a standout of the sale, a mare with strength, balance, and a natural ability to move across the ground with purpose. She was physically advanced for her age, holding herself together through her turns in a way that caught his eye straight away.
Before the hammer fell, Morgan made a point of speaking with Jay Pearce, whose confidence in the mare only reinforced what he was already seeing. Jay rated her highly, describing her as an A-grade prospect and placing significant value on her family lineage. Sired by Binnia Convoy and out of a One Moore Daddy mare, Solar Daddy Fling, Evie carries a pedigree stacked with proven performance, something that aligned perfectly with what Morgan and Emma Webb were searching for.
It didn’t take long for Morgan to track down Sheree and start the conversation that ultimately led to Evie joining their program. She ticked all the boxes, strong, cowy, well-bred, and with the kind of natural ability that suggested she could excel across multiple disciplines.
Now in training with Morgan and Emma Webb, Evie is already beginning to show glimpses of what lies ahead. In the short time they’ve had her, her instinct and strength on stock have stood out. When put onto a buffalo, she has shown an impressive ability to hold her line and turn sharply, traits that will translate strongly to tracking a cow in the campdraft arena.
The approach with Evie is a steady one, focused on building a solid foundation that will set her up for long-term success. While Morgan believes she has the potential to excel in both Challenge and Campdrafting, her path will ultimately be shaped by where she feels most comfortable and confident. If the dry work side of a Challenge doesn’t suit her, there’s no doubt she has all the attributes to forge a serious career in Campdrafting.
Beyond her ability, Evie’s temperament is another major asset. She’s a strong, quiet mare with a big motor and a genuine work ethic. She’s not one to shy away from pressure, and her toughness and size suggest she will not only handle a demanding performance career but will also cross well with a range of stallions in the future.
What excites Morgan most about Solar Evie is the opportunity she represents, a talented young mare with the pedigree, mindset, and natural ability to match. Combined with the continued support of owner Sheree Pratt, it’s a journey he’s thoroughly enjoying, and one he believes has a very bright future ahead.
