pics and video’s. Flashy Walker (AKA
Flash) is a 15.2hh, Very Stocky Built, 5
yr old, Black Roan, Gelding with lots of
chrome, a very long thick mane and
tail!!! He is registered TWHBEA and has
an excellent Pedigree. If you are
looking for a fun horse that is VERY
versatile Flash is the one for you! Some
fun stories involving Flash… We got a
call a couple weeks ago from our local
Sheriff’s Department with an odd
request, under court order they were to
seize a herd of buffalo that had been
destroying several farmers crops and
fences. Now it is not everyday that you
get a call like this and considering
that the Sheriff said the oldest buffalo
bull had charged on several occasions,
it was a task that was so risky we
couldn’t pass it up! On the first day
Flash met up with the herd and held his
ground when trying to head off a few at
the corral gate. After catching 3
buffalo, all the others jumped a gate,
and 2 jumped over the bed of a ¾ ton
Chevy pickup truck. Back to the chase
now, cantering Flash down the blacktop,
following the buffalo, then dropping off
into ditches after them and riding
through broken down barbed wire fences,
Flash took his time when needed and
watched his step very closely easing
over those torn down fences, and slowly
dropping off in the deep ditches! Flash
was riding at full throttle at times
then when we needed him to stop and wait
he was very patient and calm. While
riding Flash in a fast gallop Jason was
able to get close enough a couple times
to try roping one of the smaller
buffalo, but we are not seasoned ranch
hands and the loop just missed, even
still Flash done fine with the rope
which he had never seen before. Darkness
set in and after a long hard 8 hours of
riding through briar thickets, over
mountains, weaving in and out of mudded
corn and soybean fields we decided to
call it a day. Now to day 2… a heavy
rain was pouring down early that morning
so we waited an hour for it to slow down
to a drizzle. We went back out with
Flash again of course. We went through a
few corn fields and located a track of
where some of the buffalo had been. We
found them and started herding them back
towards our loading place. Of course
they speed up, we speed up, ect… it
turns in to a all out stampede again and
the buffalo disappeared into some woods
that were too thick to let daylight in.
I headed in on Flash to try to flush
them out, the woods were so thick that
Flash couldn’t even budge a path on his
own, while sitting on Flash briars were
up to my shoulders, we had to stay in
the tracks that the buffalo already
cleared and we rode within 10 feet of
them and didn’t even know they were
there because it was so thick! I heard
them breathing and as soon as they saw
us they took off and we did too right on
their tail! After a couple mile fun run,
we got the herd into a field with a
thick fence line of bushes, trees and
briars around it. The sheriff now had a
tranquilizer gun that I took with me as
I rode Flash out into the adjacent
field. Flash was walking head very low
trying to be sneaky and on his tippy
toes as though he knew we needed to be
quiet. I got within 75 yards of our
target, eased off and left Flash
standing out in the middle of this 100
acre field all by his lonesome. I eased
up to the fence line and took my shot,
hit the bull in the hip with a dart as
the whole herd took off running through
a fence in Flashes direction. What did
Flash do? Stand his ground, never moved
a hoof, as the buffalo went running by.
I ran back to Flash as quickly as I
could and took off back after them. By
this time it was starting to rain pretty
steady. A mile and half down the road we
cornered the buffalo again. Jason left
his horse with another rider and went up
through the woods to get an over head
shot at the herd with a tranquilizer
gun. You guessed it, one shot and they
were gone again. When the herd took off,
so did the other riders with Jason’s
horse too because they didn’t know here
Jason was. So Jason mounted up double
with me on Flash, rode through a mudded
soybean field with water standing in
places. Flash was sinking up way past
his ankles as he trudged through it. We
hit the highway with the rain pouring
down by now and the wind was whipping
fiercely. Cars coming by not even
slowing down, I guess because they
couldn’t see us and Flash just kept on
and stayed steady. The day ended with
some rain soaked boys, some tired horses
and buffalo scattered across 3 counties.
No buffalo or horses were injured
throughout both days and if you were
wondering, the tranq guns had zero
affect on the buffalo! But I will have
to say it was one of those things that I
will never forget and I was on a horse
that kept me safe in some very tight
situations by showing a keen mind, quick
thinking, and some fancy foot work! Now
some more info on Flash… We took him to
a local Fun show. If you haven’t even
been to one, it is a pretty funny place
as they name may indicate. We showed
Flash in some trail classes where he
done well, then Jason on Flash took
second in the flag race, won the bucket
race, and we took second in the rescue
race. With all this commotion, all the
running and playing around Flash still
calmed right down and went into the
water glass class and done well there.
Flash is a one of a kind horse! He
always gives you his best effort. He
pays attention to all obstacles on the
trails and watches out for his rider. He
can walk on a loose rein like a quarter
horse, then go right into a short lope
bump it up to a fast gallop, stop and
stand still, then walk off quietly. He
showed great cow/buffalo sense and would
be a great horse to work on a ranch or
farm. He proved beyond measure of how
good and how seasoned of a trail horse
he is. He would be a great horse for
mounted patrol, or search and rescue. He
is always the same broke, laid back, yet
responsive when needed type horse,
whether ridden everyday or once every
few months. Flash has a very smooth and
very natural runwalking gait where he
will nod his head, he can speed up to
about 10mph in his Racking gait which is
also smooth and has a very nice short
lope canter as you have already read.
Flash is easy to catch, clip, bath,
tack-up, load, and handle in anyway.
Flash is gentle and safe for a confident
beginner although a lot of beginners
will love his push button do what you
ask with no fuss attitude. Flash will
flatfoot walk on a loose rein or he can
move on out if you ask. Flash has had 1
month of professional gaiting, trail and
bombproof training. He has been ridden
around farm equipment, ATV’s, over large
noisy tarps and has also had guns shot
off of his back. Just like everything we
say about our horses, we have the videos
to prove it. No matter where he goes or
what he does, Flash is not spooky
acting. On the trails he is always
great! Flash has been exposed to all
kinds of wildlife such as deer or turkey
or other animals like cows, dogs, of
course buffalo and will go anywhere that
he is asked too. He has been rode many
miles in the mountains of Eastern
Kentucky and Virginia and encountered
every obstacle possible on the trail. He
will go up or down even the steepest
slopes, across deep creeks, over downed
trees, and over all types of rough
terrain while still being sure footed.
He has been rode in traffic, and is very
traffic safe around cars, semi, log, and
dump trucks. He has a great attitude
about whatever he is asked to do and is
always willing. Get a Flashy Walker
