Spark started out right away as a friendly fellow. A beauty with his nice strong muscling, straight legs, and pretty dished face. He has an upside down raindrop shaped star on his forehead, a tiny strike where the halter noseband laysl, a snip, and a 3/4 white area on the right hind pastern for white markings. Picture to your left is his foal picture at about a two days old.
Spark ranch raised and is use to being with cattle, as he is usually wintered with our herd bulls during winters months, so knows how to watch out for himself and how to manage himself with being around average natured bulls. He's summer pasture is a ranch/cattle type of pasture with barbwire fencing, so he is also familar with that type of fencing.
A full brother to Spark's sire was a very successful cutting horse in All-Breed and Arabian competition. He was especially competative against Quarter Horses.
Spark is registered as a half Arabian, but in reality he is 23/32 Arabian, 1/4 Spanish Mustang, and 1/32 Quarter Horse. He has about 5 lines to *Witez II. He is halter broke, had foal imprint training. He has been handled and tied to hitch rail on a regular basis. He has had a poly-tarp and light weight saddle on his back numerous times, and also some despook training. He also has been ttrained for stake strap tie out. See pictures below from last week of Sept. 2004, informal showing Spark on stake out.
