The Begining

I purchased Apache Flash from Llybydder Horse Sales back in July 2008 as a colt foal he was very scrawny, full of lice and in very poor condition, but there was something about him that i liked. His colour then wasn't very distinctive as his coat was so dull and long. Well he loaded like a dream, as if he did it every day. Nothing seemed to spook him, at the time we put it down to feeling poor and not strong enough to spook.
After 6 weeks in quarantine he was booked in to be gelded. This was quite a decision to make as he was turning out to be quite special and unique and it seemed a shame to do it however sense pro failed and he was castrated.
Once healed he was turned out with the rest of the horses that we own and it was clear from the start that he wasn't going to stick up for himself and was shunted to the bottom of the herd. Apache has remained in this position and has no intentions of climbing the hierarchy ladder. He waits for all the others to feed before he gets the left overs and this is still true to date.... he well bullied by them all. Due to this he is always extremely please to see you and charges up to the gate to come in and rest from the others.....

During the summer of 2010 i began lunging Apache which he seemed to enjoy, again being away from the others in his herd gave him a well earned rest (of sorts). By the end of the summer he was lightly backed and walking in the sand school. He was still growing at an alarming rate and was extremely croup high at his stage more like riding a camel.

 I became pregnant with my second child so in November 2010 he was sent away to a friends field, to mature and grow, as was I. He remained picked on whilst there and spent the winter and early spring being a young Horse.

My son Rex was born early March and by the end of this month i was eager to get riding again and couldn't wait to get Apache going again.....
