Schooner joined the Kuchinos family in 2005. He made his debut in the show ring at 6 months old, and finished his championship with a 5-point major at 3 years of age.
After Schooner completed his championship, he spent his days napping, begging, and chasing bumpers. Schooner's big goofy personality and jokester tendencies kept the Kuchinos family on their toes for the remainder of Schooner's life.
