.Light Up The Sky.
Show Name: Light Up The Sky
Barn Name: Blitz
Age: 7 years
Gender: Gelding
Color: Skewbald
Breed: Quater horse
Height: 15hh
Personality: Blitz is a major speed demon, and once he’s on a roll he’s not stopping. His over eagerness is easy to fix, for he is extremely sensitive and it doesn’t take much to slow him down. With only slight leg aids and body movement, Blitz will plunge himself forward usually as fast as possible. If the rider is a messy rider (e.g. Legs all over the place, bouncing in the saddle and so on.) It will become a challenge to ride this gelding because of his constant bucking and panicking. He can also tend to be very skittish if he doesn’t trust his rider. Normally, Blitz is happy to go along with whatever he is asked to do and will do it, unless something that scares him is involved. His personality in the stable is very playful and perky and he normally gets on fine with other horses. In the show ring, he has an issue with constant neighing and calling, enjoying himself completely. He is quite sure-footed and takes small, but light strides, lifting his hooves up.
History: Blitz was bred at the Burke’s ranch in Tucson, Arizona. He was to be sold to a family in Montana, and when they bought him a year later they sold him back to the Burkes because the family was becoming broke and couldn’t afford to look after the colt anymore. They had only schooled Blitz to basic flatwork when they gave him back, and the Burkes worked together to break him in completely.
Discipline: English, Show-Jumper
Owner/Rider: Scarlett Burke
