El Rey Sol is primarily an Alta Escuela exhibition horse, performing everywhere from Madonna music videos to the stage of Disney Hall. His wonderfully kind and hard working disposition is perfect for his life as an amateur-owned horse; he enjoys long trail rides and parades such as the Santa Barbara parade and Rose Bowl, but he also has a formidable show record:

Registered as black, Chacal did eventually turn gray. He has produced non graying offspring.
