Flash
(or Flashmeister as we
affectionately call him)
UPDATE Š Flash has been adopted!
Congratulations
to Jody and Family of Binghamton, New York. We are delighted that he has found
such a wonderful home. He walked right off the trailer as if he knew he
belonged. We wish them many happy years together.
Flash
meets Fiona. Looks like they will become fast friends.
FlashÕs
Journey
He
came to us in May 2004. An 18-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, seriously underweight
and with lameness issues. He had been used for an unspecified number of years
as a lesson horse.
Quite
the charmer, he was very popular at the barn but his physical issues finally
became too great to continue. ThatÕs when he came to Seven Springs for
rehabilitation.
February,
2005. He grew quite a "wooly" winter coat. We put him on a customized
supplement regimen in October and that proved to be the key to healthy weight
gain and an end to his clicking stifles.
His
hoof condition has improved and he now trots soundly on pavement.
Here
he is just returning from a trail ride with a novice rider on board.
Riding
lesson with a first-time rider. Notice the big grin. Flash will stop if the
rider starts to slip. He is a real pro.
October, 2005 doing what he does best. Introducing a young rider to the joy of horses.
Summer,
2004. Flash didnÕt shed out well and he was plagued with flies biting his legs
bloody. He was very toxic from whatever drugs, or other chemical substances he
had been given through the years.

His
unhealthy state also made him susceptible to sun sensitivity as shown in this
picture.

The
supplements helped him detox and achieve a healthy, balanced system. This year he
shed much better and was no more bothered by flies than the rest of the herd.
No more bloody legs nor sunburned face. He also has a healthy glow as seen in
this picture taken June 2005. This is with no grooming, just Flash in his
natural state.

to a young woman who is just learning to steer.
