“Flash” a classy 2021 red roan gelding coming from an elite breeding program having "the look," speed, and the trainable disposition necessary for a professional-level career. “Flash” is by a "Million Dollar Sire" IRISH PAY and out of STREAK OF VENUS (an own daughter of A STREAK OF FLING).
Living up to his breeding, “Flash” has a superb foundation from a great colt starter, allowing him to transition to the roping pen with ease. He's been roping live steers for a year, developing a solid, slow-and-steady foundation. He is exceptional in the box, scoring flat and leaving with a smooth start. He rates naturally, waits for the roper, and never gets quick or tries to out-smart you. “Flash” remains calm, consistent, and easy, whether at local jackpots or breaking in fresh steers at home. Don’t let his easy-going personality underestimate his speed and athleticism. He catches fast steers without trying. He has the speed he was breed to have.
Outside the arena, “Flash” is a gentle family favorite. Great with kids in every way. He is well-mannered even with time off, loping soft circles, taking his leads, and neck reining on a loose rein. He has a sweet stop, knows leg cues, and backs easily. He is easy to catch, stands perfectly for the farrier/clipping, and hauls quietly. 100% sound with no vices, he is UTD on worming, dental, and farrier care.
We invite and encourage you to come try “Flash” in Congress, AZ, before the sale.
