Flash is a Butterfly!

Flash has been transformed from a tubby trail pony larva into a muscled, eager dressage horse butterfly.
Tubby Flash

He was adorable, sweet, kind and willing when he was tubby. But he just didn't have much training or muscle. His main talents were walking down a trail.....

Trail horse Flash

or being led around with a small child rider.


Flash's trainer, Shelley Kaczmarczyk @Everyday Dressage said that Flash has great big, warmblood movement! His DNA test revealed that he is Tennessee Walking Horse, Mountain Pleasure Horse and Turkoman. I guess that big movement comes from his TWH heritage...

Or maybe from his Turkoman ancestor ...

But probably not from his Mountain Pleasure Horse ancestor ...

Flash continues to love dressage training.  He has competed twice. He has been a ribbon winner each time.

Flash is such a happy boy! He turned 27 this year and plans to compete again in October, 2019. 


He laughs and laughs every time he sees his before and after picture! His laugh sounds like this, "HAY HAY HAY HAY HAY!"
