("FLAME")
This is a show picture of Flame. He is showing on "pads". Big Shoes. It changes their way of going. It makes an extremely exaggerated, smooooooth walk.
THIS STALLION IS BY PRIDE'S GOLD COIN OUT OF AN EBONY MASTERPIECE (WGC) MARE. FLAME WAS PURCHASED AS A THREE-YEAR-OLD. HE WAS EXTREMELY THIN AND VERY SICK WHEN HE WAS DELIVERED. IT WAS UNCERTAIN IF HE WOULD EVEN LIVE. HE SPENT SIX WEEKS COMING OUT FROM TENNESSEE ON A TRUCK WEARING A HALTER THAT WAS TOO SMALL, SO HE HAD TERRIBLE SORES ON EACH SIDE OF HIS FACE. HIS NOSE WAS DRAWN TO ONE SIDE AS IF HE HAD HAD A STROKE. IT WAS NOT A STROKE, BUT A SEVERE SINUS INFECTION. HE LOOKED PATHETIC. HIS COAT WAS A STRANGE ORANGISH COLOR, AND HE WAS VERY SAD.
HE WAS TAKEN HOME, AND THE VET CAME TO SEE WHAT WAS NEEDED TO MAKE HIM WELL. FLAME WAS GIVEN PLENTY OF FOOD, PROPER MEDICATIONS AND JUST BASIC TLC. THE HALTER CAME OFF, AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE STILL LITTLE TINY SCARS WHERE IT HAD DUG INTO HIS FACE, ONE WOULD NEVER KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
HIS BEAUTIFUL LIVER CHESTNUT COAT GLISTENS, AND HE HAS A VERY PRETTY HEAD WITH LARGE, KIND EYES. HIS CHARISMA WINS HEARTS. HE IS GENTLE AND WILLING; ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN AT BREEDING TIME. WHEN HE SHOWS, IT SEEMS HE GROWS A COUPLE OF HANDS TALLER. HE LOVES TO SHOW, AND HE HAS SHOWN EVERY WAY WALKERS ARE SHOWN. HE HAS BEEN LIGHT SHOD, PLANTATION SHOD, AND HE HAS WORN THE BUILT-UP SHOE OF THE PERFORMANCE HORSE. HE HAS BEEN RIDDEN, DRIVEN AND SHOWN AT HALTER. HE ALWAYS HAS DONE VERY WELL, ADDING RIBBONS AND AWARDS TO THE STABLE'S COLLECTION.
IN ADDITION, HIS OFFSPRING ARE VERSATILE, AND ALSO DO WELL HOWEVER THEY ARE USED - SHOW, TRAIL OR BEING SOMEONE'S PAL.
COIN'S AMBER FLAME
Poem by Phyllis Schmitz
BECAUSE MOST WALKING HORSE PEOPLE DON'T SEEK TO DECEIVE.
LET'S JUST SAY THAT THE BEAUTIFUL HORSE THAT I BOUGHT WAS.
TO MAKE IT SHORT - NOT THE ONE THAT I GOT!
THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM, HE LOOKED INCREDIBLY BAD.
HE HAD SORES ON HIS FACE, AND HIS EYES WERE SO SAD.
HIS NOSE WAS ALL CROOKED AND TWISTED - NO JOKE.
HE LOOKED LIKE HE MAY HAVE SUFFERED A STROKE.
YOU KNOW THOSE "HORSE RESCUE" STORIES? WELL, THIS IS ONE TOO.
HE WAS SO SICK AND THIN, WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT TO DO.
BUT, OUT CAME THE VET AND MEDICATIONS GALORE.
WE DOCTORED,
WE PRAYED,
AND WE DOCTORED SOME MORE.
HIS KIND, GENTLE, NATURE MADE HELPING HIM FUN.
HE LIKED ALL THE ATTENTION - AND LOVED EVERYONE.
HE BEGAN TO GAIN WEIGHT; HIS COAT STARTED TO SHINE.
I BEGAN TO BE PROUD THAT THIS STALLION WAS MINE.
HE WAS WEARING HIS STACKS WHEN HE ARRIVED AT MY PLACE.
AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SICK, HE STILL MOVED WITH SUCH GRACE.
ALTHOUGH HE STAYED ON HIS PADS FOR QUITE A SPELL,
HE CONVERTED TO LIGHTSHOD AMAZINGLY WELL.
OF COURSE, BEING YOUNG, HE HAD NOT SIRED A FOAL,
AND TO HAVE A YOUNG STUD WAS NEVER MY GOAL.
BUT WHEN IT WAS TIME TO DO THE FIRST BREEDING
IT WAS A QUIET, SOMEWHAT UNEVENTFUL PROCEEDING.
HE IS THE FIRST HORSE PULLED OUT WHEN SOMEONE NEW COMES AROUND;
HE ENJOYS LITTLE KIDS WHETHER ON HIS BACK OR THE GROUND.
ONCE WHEN A CHILD GRABBED HIS FRONT LEGS,
HE DIDN'T CARE - JUST SEEMED TO BE WONDERING
"WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN THERE?"
WITH NO SADDLE OR BRIDLE LYNN HAS JUMPED ON HIS BACK;
YES, HE HANDLES QUITE WELL WITHOUT ANY TACK.
HE CARRIES A FLAG WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE:
WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY - THIS GUY JUST WANTS TO PLEASE.
HE LOVES A PARADE WITH THE EXCITEMENT IT BRINGS,
AND WHEN HE ENTERS A SHOW RING, HE SEEMS TO GROW WINGS.
HIS GAITS ARE SO SMOOTH WITH SOMEONE ON HIS BACK,
(AND HE GETS EVEN SMOOTHER AT THE FORBIDDEN RACK~.
ALL FOUR OF HIS CHILDREN ARE WORTHY OF SHOW:
ALL LOOSE WALKING FILLIES, AND CAN THOSE GIRLS GO!
HE HAS PASSED WONDERFUL QUALITIES ON TO HIS GET;
AS A GOOD BREEDING STALLION, HE MAY BE YOUR BEST BET!
OUT OF EB'S LADY DEAN, AN EBONY MASTERPIECE MARE,
HIS SIRE: PRIDE'S GOLD COIN - YOU CAN SEE THE QUALITY IS THERE.
IF DISPOSITION AND TALENT IS THE NAME OF YOUR GAME,
REMEMBER TO CHECK OUT COIN'S AMBER FLAME.
