History: Dash was born on Jessie's Ranch a few months after they moved to the new ranch. He was the first foal born and was a stunner from the second he hit the ground. He was fast from the moment he stood up, driving his mom crazy having him run circles in their stall at mere hours old. Jessie knew this was her horse, this was the horse that would take her places. They planned on keeping him a stallion, yet nature had other plans. Due to reproductive issues, he would never be able to successful breed a mare. Therefore, he was gelded at 6 months old. He was broke to ride at 2 years old, all walking just getting used to the saddle and listening to cues. At 3, he started to work the barrel pattern. He caught on like he was a seasoned veteran. By the time he was 5, Dash was already a 1D barrel horse. He was wiping the boards at every race she took him to. She laid him off for 3 months over the winter and let him be a horse for a while, only to bring him back to the same barrel horse she left. He's definitely more than meets the eye.
