Horse Of The Week - Flash.

Flash II is a 14-year-old, Dutch Warmblood who stands at 16.2hh. For the last 5 years, she has been owned by Sophie Evans. Primarily, the combination compete in affiliated British Showjumping. It is not only showjumping that interests them though, as Sophie also takes Flash to compete in local dressage classes. Together they have won a few Prelim level dressage tests. Before she was owned by Sophie, Flash had jumped in the Sunshine Tour and went on to win her class. Sophie told us: “Flash has a very kind temperament, proof of this is in her very large ears! She loves her routine and will definitely let you know that she is not pleased if you change it! She loves her food and will give you kisses for treats and carrots. Flash has taught me a great deal in so many ways. We affiliated with British Showjumping just over a year after I got her, and since then we have done very many competitions. Flash really does excel in jumping, taking us to one of our favourite places - Hickstead, and many others too. She has very long strides, ideal for making up a lot of ground in the jump off! Although she is extremely careful and scopey also. For the majority of the time Flash is sleepy and quiet, but she soon wakes up when we are at a competition! She always takes excellent care of me, she is definitely one of a kind.”      “Additionally Flash loves cross country, getting very excited over the fences and especially in the water! She loves the ability to have a good gallop around. Despite this excitement, she knows to be calm and collected during any dressage competitions. She is certainly one clever horse, and I could not have hoped for better.” Sophie explains: “Flash used to really struggle when the pollen count was high and the summer season came through. She would constantly shake her head. Since I started feeding Clarity it has really helped with her head shaking, not only in the field but also whilst riding”. “I am very glad to have started using Clarity this year. It made a huge difference to Flash in the summer of 2014, so I will definitely be using it this year! “ A FREE 2kg tub of Clarity is on its way to Flash for being our Horse Of The Week!
