Boltoflighting aka "Lucky" - Jumper potential for a serious rider.

Foaling date: June 6, 1994
Breed: Thoroughbred
Sex: Gelding
Color: Chestnut
Size: 15.3++
Comments: Brave and bold with the movement for dressage or jumping disciplines. Boltoflighting aka "Lucky"

"Lucky" has quickly worked his way into our hearts. He is not afraid of anything. He loves to trail ride. He jumps any type of jump without hesitation including banks, ditches and combinations - in and out of the arena. He does it with enthusiasm so he is not for a timid rider. Lucky has a wonderful carriage and is very light in your hands. He really responds to your seat and legs. His personality is sweet and kind. See how he loves to roll in our shavings pile.

Lucky needs someone special to love him. He really wants to please. He wants a fearless kid to play with him. Lucky would also make a great barrel racer or open jumper. He can turn on the speed and he turns it off just as quickly when asked.
