THIS IS FLAME'S THREAD FROM THE SUPPORT BOARD

Flame - 2 - 4 years old, 14.3h and growing QH type gelding. Nervous but willing disposition once he realized we weren't going to hurt him. Naturally correct in front with an athletic build. Sound with great feet however he was too nervous for us to pick them up. Flame needs reassurance - would need a confidence building type of training/ owner. His eye is not trusting.



Adopter: Jamie T.

Bail Amount: $625.00

Bail Pledged: $50.00 CarrieS
Full bail paid by adopter...

STAYING IN AUBURN, WASHINGTON

Anything yet? I really like this guy, he is so pretty. And the ones who don't trust usually turn around and are life long companions.

Actually, this guy is really nice. My neighbors filly was a mean and scared filly. She didn't trust anyone, but I really liked her and have spent a lot of time with her since then. Now she is the sweetest little horse ever. This guy will be the exact same. I would love to work with him like I did the filly, they look so much a like!

I have an e-mail into heidi as well about him>I don't think its a trust issue,he hasn't been worked with much,therefore you can't or shouldn't label him that way-This is where some of the adoptions go awry,its in description of the horse-no doubt that he is outstanding to look at,seems bright eyed,and scared I am sure.I am surprised that no one wants him,and that
is very interesting from where I sit?

Anything happening for him? I'm so worried he's going to go like Tweedle and Dee. The FLO likes to send the healthy, wild ones.

I'll start with $50 pledged for him; he's too pretty to be a steak.

I hate it when they say things like, "His eye was not trusting." Or if they say the horse did something naughty when they were trying them out. It just condemns the horse! Bring out the positives, I say, and if there are cautions, bring them out after someone inquires about the horse. So many of them have a misbehavior, and it makes ppl shy away from them. I think poor Vegas is in that group, and Sonora. Those two mares are highly desireable types and colors, not aged, aer broke to ride, etc. and yet, they sit there. Neither one has a very flattering write-up. They are higher priced, but with them being broke and in such good condition, it's still a fair price. It makes them sound cranky and hard to deal with, and yet, you know they aren't that way.

YAY! I hope his adopter posts tons pics of his progress!

I love it when my favorites get adopted; my 2 sweeties (4 hoofed and 2 footed) have made it pretty clear that there can only be 1.

Hi Gals!

I adopted Flame while I was in Maui! He is a real cutie. Since I bought him while I was in Hawaii, I think I will call him Mai Tai, or Tai for short.

He is having a small bout of strangles, but nothing too severe.

He is a typical baby, unsure of the world and people, but very willing. His conformation seems good, legs are straight, alittle short in the neck and thick through the throat latch, but what I like most of all is his great mind.

He did not know me at all and he let me handle him, halter him, move him around the stall, pick up his feet and back him up. He stood quietly at the end of the rope while I had a conversation with Diane and then snuggled his head in my arms for lovn's. I think that's pretty trusting of him.

PEC is doing a good job with his care. Thank you Dean.

More to come.. !

Finally was able to meet my boy Flame today! He is a real cutie. Since I bought him while I was in Hawaii, I think I will call him Mai Tai, or Tai for short.

He was wormed today and not real thrilled about it but forgave me quickly. hehe

He snuck out of his stall and was visiting Vegas. She didn't think he was all that and just kept squealing at him over her stall door. The quarantine area is blocked off so they can't get anywhere but the isle. I told him to get his hinny back in his own stall and he walked right in!

What a looker! He is Quarter/Arab

Thanks Sandy. He is a Q-T! I cant wait to have him at home.

[jtjedi]

Tai (Flame) is FINALLY home! He's been at PEC finishing his QT and is now happily living in Champ's old stall (the QT stall).

I moved Champ into the main barn, much to my Arab gelding's chagrin. "These are MY mares, darnit!" We played musical stalls until everyone was happy with their new neighbor and settled down. Luckily, my mustang mare accepted Champ next door with a cold shoulder and a nip. And Jedi got "his" mares on his end of the barn. Jedi, you have been a gelding for 21 years, jeez!

I worked with Tai last night in the round pen. He bonds well and desensitizes quickly. He's going to be a piece of cake! He has the perfect build and size to be a great team penner.

Pictures to come...

[Admin]

Just wanted to add that this is one nice horse. He has a wonderful mind and is very smart! Actually, I have never seen a horse desensitize to everything and anything so quickly ;D

He is one lucky horse!

[jtjedi]

Mr. Tai had a very big day yesterday. Dr. Vetter (my equine dentist) was out at my place for the horses 6 month dental check ups. With seven horses, it takes all day! The new guy is now in the rotation.

Tai's mouth was in need of some TLC. It's confirmed that he's only 2 1/2 years old! Just a baby. He had two wolfe teeth removed, two baby caps removed and a real good floating. He also got his microchip and had his sheath cleaned. He's going to feel like a new man in a few days.

[jtjedi]

Tai attended the Steve Rother Clinic last weekend and I am proud to report that he is now under saddle!

He proved to be quite the challenge and I have to say that I learned alot more about controlling the horse's shoulder than I thought possible!

I finally figured out how to "read" him and worked things out.

I dont think he is a true quarter horse as cows were just too scary to be around!

He is a good boy and really cute.

[caryn]

Hi Jamie,
How's the little Tai guy doing? Congrats on starting him under saddle, sounds like you had a great time at the clinic. Would love to see some pics too...hint, hint

[jtjedi]

Hi Caryn-

Tai is great. He is spending the summer getting ponied all over hill and dale on the trails this summer. He's actually going to be a great trail horse. He's going through mud and water and following along real nicely.

When I get a chance, I'll get some pictures of him.

JT

[caryn]

What a good boy! I want to go over hill and dale all summer too Miss Dream is my trail girl right now. We don't go far, just meander around at Dream's favorite pace ( kinda like a mosey ). She's cracking me up. She can eat and mosey at the same time Take about 4 steps, head down, grab bite on 5th step, chew, chew, chew, chew, back to 5th step, take another bite....

I'm hoping to get Ally out there this season. She lives in pasture, but hasn't done any trail rides, so we need to build confidence away from the herd and in the wild, blue yonder. Hmmm, you've got me thinking now. Perhaps, I could pony her off Dream to start with

[jtjedi]

I thought you might like some updated pictures. The farrier was here on Friday. Was able to capture a few new ones. It's so nice to see him with a full coat, no rain rot and not covered with cuts and scrapes. He is a total ham, very playful and loving. Even though he is young, I trust him completely, sans halter, with the children who come to my place to brush horses.







He's coming along nicely under saddle too.

[atticus]

He looks awesome!! What a gorgeous boy!

[afinenettle]

What an absolute find! He is better looking than many of the horses I see advertised on BAEN for thousands. Happy boy and congratulations to you!

[agilitygal]

He's really beautiful! He looks like a very, well-bred, expensive horse

[jtjedi]

Have I told you how much I love this horse? He's been a piece of cake to train. His personality and temperament are phenomenal!

Here are a few pictures of Tai at the Steve Rother clinic this weekend. He's under saddle and loving it. Starting him under saddle was absolutely a non-event. He's not a nervous horse and trusts implicitly.

[calypso]

What a handsome boy!! He looks like he's been doing this for years!! Great job!

[jtjedi]

Tai (CBER Flame) with me on his 5th ride under saddle.

[djrepp]

Oh Jamie! I remember the night you met him and you said he was a good boy. Way to go. What a beautiful horse and a beautiful woman.

[emjay]

he's beautiful. great job.

[jtjedi]

Thank you! Diane that was a special night.

[Admin]

Ahh, just makes my heart melt Jaime. I am so glad he loves you ;D I really got attached to him while he was here. He is a very special guy! Great job!!!!

[atticus]

He is sucha good guy!!!
