| One Flashy Choctaw |
| AIHR O-3737 / HOA 1709 / SSMA 2366 |
Flash, a very pretty little tobiano filly with some very strange markings, Flash sports a white mane, a
black tail, a body that is mainly black, four high white stockings and tough black feet. If that's not
enough, she has an upside down number one on her hip, a lightning flash down her face and she's out of
the Choctaw line..thus the name One Flashy Choctaw.

Flash has decided that humans aren't so bad. That is, once you get used to them petting you. So,
once again, we have created a monster that comes up, longing to be petted and scratched in all the right
places. Born August 15th of 2001 in Medicine Springs, Oklahoma, Flash is one of the four Choctaw
horses that came to the Rockin B Ranch in the fall of 2001. This beautiful black and white paint filly is
by Fish Camp Phantom (SSMA 2334) out of Oklahoma Today (SSMA 795).

In September 2009 we took Flash to her first show. Unfortunately it was a National
Show, so there was plenty of competition to keep us busy! Solid and confident, Flash did
great placing in the following events:

Flash went to a good friend of mine to be broke slow and gentle. She's a blast to ride, for she's so
smooth and willing. She will lead, trailer, stand quietly when tied and almost mug you for some loving
each time you go out in the pasture. Her intelligence really shines thru each time you teach her something
new....besides, her curiosity always gets the best of her, so she ends up understanding what you ask of
her - especially her round pen work.

This is one mare that I can definitely say was chosen for her looks. One cool October
morning while taking a morning ride at the Medicine Springs Ranch in Oklahoma, we passed
by the catch pens by the old cabin. As I looked over at the horses in the pen, my gaze
settled on a little one huddled close to it's momma....the sight froze me in my tracks. Could
this be? Surely it couldn't be....for I swear that this little one was Saint reborn. I told Buttons
what I saw in the filly, we dismounted and entered the catch pen to get a closer look. Her
markings were exactly the same as Saint's, but they were so close that it was scary.

For those of you who haven't known me for that long, I'll explain. Saint was a paint
horse that I had for several years....wait...to say she was my horse would just be wrong.
Saint was was my best friend. She went everywhere I went....literally. If I was at the ranch,
she was beside me. It didn't matter if I was building fences, hanging gates, mowing the
pasture or just sitting in the yard...Saint was always with me, grazing within arms reach.
Don't let that trailer pull outta that pasture without her, for there would be hell to pay! If I
was gonna take that trailer, she was gonna be in it!

After talking with Mr. Rickman, Buttons purchased both the mare and filly. We still had
a few details to work out, but they were ours. Later that night around the campfire, Buttons
told me that the little black and white filly was mine - he had bought her as a gift to me. She
had reminded me so much of the best friend that I lost so many years ago that he just had to
buy her. Who knows, maybe she is Saint...ready to be with me again. But if this little girls'
gonna try to take Saint's place, she's got one big set of shoes to fill. But then again, I guess
only time will tell.

Needless to say we're more than pleased with Flash's accomplishments! We can't wait to take her to her
next show!
Oh, did I mention that Flash loped for the first time with Susan while at the National Show? Yep, that's why
you see Susan's mouth open in all of the pics in events where there is speed involved. She was cheering Flash
on the whole way!
