Flash came from very humble beginnings. We adopted him from the Have-A-Heart Rescue Center on Tropical Equine in May 2006 when we needed some basic stock, plus we couldn't possibly leave such a sweet stud at the center. Flash, who had been waiting for a second chance since being abandoned in 2005, caught our eye right away and we took him home with us. Quite honestly, we didn't expect that we had gotten such a willing horse. Flash is one of those rare, charismatic hard-working horses that wasn't trained as a english horse originally. In fact, we don't think he was ever formally trained to jump or go english at all before we purchased but lo and behold, we put him in an english saddle when we first got him and he went like a dream in an english frame even! We were shocked and amazed at his manners. Flash is full of heart and is willing to try just about any crazy thing that we throw at him. His favorite reward for a job well-done is a granny smith apple, an unusually tart favorite for a horse. But his favorite treat isn't the only thing that is unusual about Flash. As a quarter horse, he always had and will have a bias towards him when compared to the fancy sporthorses and ponies in the english arena. Well, Flash has been showing everyone that quarter horses can be very versatile and kick some fancy horse ass! He enjoys competition and consistently beats horses that are worth double or triple what we got him for. Also, Flash's serene disposition is unusual in a stallion but we love him for it. Basically anyone can ride him and he acts like he's gelded although he isn't yet. He rarely gets distracted (even by mares!) and only spooks for valid reasons, like a tractor coming towards him at a fast speed (thanks for that, Roger!). He's also a consistent jumper, making us feel comfortable to put a junior or less experienced rider on him. He just loves his job. He's a great sire and all of his offspring are extremely talented, wonderful horses. A colt that CCI bred by him, CCI Heza Rare Gem, just recently became a double World Champion colt. Flash's docile personality makes him a favorite around here and he will soon be gelded to spend the rest of his days just hanging out.
