About Flynn
Flynn was removed from negligent owners by the Houston Humane Society and then placed with Bluebonnet. He was a stallion when he first arrived at Bluebonnet but was gelded quickly and is adjusting well to life as a gelding. In his current home, he’s pastured by himself and has done well.
Flynn is competing in the Non-Pro Under Saddle Division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with Katie Kirk. Flynn will be available for adoption at the Training Challenge competition on October 5, 2024, during the Bluebonnet Horse Expo at the Williamson County Expo Center. You can follow their progress on their Facebook page CLICK HERE
The Expo and Training Challenge will be held on October 5, 2024, at the Williamson County Expo Center in Taylor, Texas. For more information about the Expo CLICK HERE, or for information about adopting a challenge horse CLICK HERE.
Evaluation and Training
Flynn’s foster home worked with him after he recovered from gelding and said he was a nice horse. She said he didn’t know much but was willing.
He’s spent four months with trainer Katrina Santiago preparing for the 2022 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She’s started him under saddle and ridden him western. They walk, trot, and canter both in arenas and out in the open. She’s ridden him trails, ridden him over obstacles, hauled him to other arenas for experience, and taught him to lie down so a rider can mount. She’s been swinging a rope off of him, and that doesn’t bother him either. In fact, not much seems to bother this boy!
Flynn is competed in the Professional Division of the 2022 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge and was adopted that day. Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, Flynn was returned.
His training partner has spent a lot of time building his confidence/comfort level with people. He now can be caught in the pasture, travel to arenas, handle minor desensitization/spooking objects and is the friendliest guy at the barn! He has the SWEETEST personality and is very receptive to praise and encouragement.
