Flash

I would like to introduce you to Flash! He’s as genuine as they come, as gentle as a lamb, and his color and conformation as magical as the ocean waves. He’s a unique silver bay, with dapples up and down his legs, and a flaxen mane and tail! This boy is the real deal. He is a Percheron Oldenburg cross (grade). He has a sensible head on his shoulders and a heart of gold. He stands a solid 17hh with good bone structure and great feet. At 5 years old, his experience is amazing. He’s been ridden down the road, around the farm, in the ring, and out on the hunt field. He’s a big, but yet, sporty boy with a soft mouth, 3 balanced gaits, and his flying changes are as close to automatic as possible. He can take both canter leads from the walk and the breaks are good. Flash jumps right around full hunter courses, and cross country courses, at 2’9”, with potential to go much higher! He’s brave to the jumps and will go over any type of fill you may come across! Oh, did I mention he’s smooth as sitting in a Cadillac?! He stands for mounting and dismounting anywhere. He works on and off leg and seat pressure. Flash also loads, hauls, ties, and pickets. This is a HARD type to find. Flash has been ridden in several state and metro parks in Michigan and is no stranger to a day in the woods; he has been exposed to wildlife water tunnels traffic and bridges. He will bravely take the lead or bring the horses in from the back; you pick his place and he will happily take it. Flash has been ridden all over the fields and back roads of Michigans beautiful Metamora hunt country. He’s been on several hunter paces as well! This boy shows potential to be a fox hunter’s dream mount! He is also broke to drive, both singe and double. Flash is broke to work on just about anything you want to hook him to! He will pull a plow, manure spreader, hay bailer, or just take you for a laid back stroll around the country sides. He stands as still as a statue to be harnessed, hooked, and unhooked! He also stands for his passengers to get on and off the carriage! The possibilities are endless for this guy! He is very user friendly and has been exposed to a bit of everything. The video below demonstrates many of his attributes. I want you to take note as you watch; you will see several riders of all ages, and sizes, aboard; he’s that type that gets along with almost anyone! Flash is not lacking in anything!
