Flight is a wonderful 16 Y.O mare. She is the same day in and out with her loving demeanor. With low maintence, easy prep for shows, this girl loves her basic shoes (she’s not into designer Jimmy Choo’s). Nor does she need a lot in the off time to keep her going. Lots of drive for as easy as she is. Her accomplishments go on and on but is ready for her next career in the jumpers up to 1.10 meter. We can send you home with the owners manual for this one. No hidden buttons or over thinking with her.
