Flameante de Gracia, nicknamed Flash, is a handsome chestnut Paso Fino gelding with flaxen in his tail and a dorsal stripe. He was born April 23, 2002 at Gracewood Farm. He has a curious bold but sweet nature, willing attitude, and likes to be around people.

Flash is a naturally bold and adventureous gelding. If it is there for the viewing, Flash is there checking it out...see photo collage below. With his fearless and quiet attitude, and natural soft gait, he should prove to be an outstanding trail prospect for a youth or small adult. Flash should mature to be around 13.2-3 hands. He was injured in a trailer accident at 3 months old, though he has recovered, he does move with a slight hitch on the left side. This personable gelding would make a great all-around family type pleasure horse.
