About Flame
Flame is a striking Arabian sorrel gelding with a sweet face and a long, flowing forelock. Full of energy and curiosity, he loves playing with his pasture mates and exploring his surroundings. Flame thrives on attention and is eager to connect with people, making him a horse who truly deserves someone to dote on him while keeping him out of mischief. Flame has shown great potential during groundwork, including lunging, trotting, and cantering, and is willing and eager to learn more.
Before he came to Bluebonnet, he was owned all of his life by his breeder. You wouldn’t know it to meet him now, but because his breeder was older and had health problems, Flame did not get much handling before coming to the rescue. He’s come a long way in a relatively short period of time, and he’s ready for new adventures.
