Furzey Lodge Flash Gordon has been successfully shown in hand as a yearling and 2 year old with several wins to his name, including Pembrokeshire County Show 2021.
He gained great marks in his Virtual Futurity Assessment in 2021 as a 2 year old, gaining 8 for his walk and canter and was described as “A very nice sports pony type” and that he “makes a very good impression”.
Fred passed his New Forest Pony Stallion grading with ease in 2021 and was in the top 4 placing of colts entered. Although only lightly loose jumped he is showing huge scope and natural ability expected with his pedigree. He has started some light education and is proving very easy and quiet to do.
Fred completed the SPSS grading process in May 2023 when he was assessed "in person" and was accepted. |
