Personality
Flame is one of the stunners in the barn. Flame has speed that no newby would mess with, well, he himself is a 'newby' but he dosent seem like it. He has the abilty to listen, yet run it out at the same time, making him an easy and pleasant ride. He can get a bit spooked at unfamiliar items, but he is sharp, intelligent and learns the tricks of others quickly. Hopefully his natural ability to learn will help in racing. It's not just the rider who has to be able to find their way to the lead. His massive stride is enough to help. However, the horse has to have the will to win to succeed in this difficult area. Native Flame has enough will, but is smart enough to rein it in when it counts the most. Most of the time Flame doesn't even access his grittiness or determination because his shear size and stride is enough to come away with the win. He has always attracted attention because his come from behind runs are always so dramatic and power. He runs without trying. Under Buck's care he has become a star in the racing ranks quickly. As he makes his return as a four year old he may prove that his power has yet to be even tapped yet.
History and Pedigree Information
As a grade three racehorse Native Flame has competed plenty of times against the top class racehorses. As a two year old he reeled off multiple shocking come from behind victories. At the end of his two year old season Native Flame faced the toughest bunch of two year old colts ever to race at Green Horse Fields. He came away with a second in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile to the present day Triple Crown Winner Impressario.

Breeding Records
Stud Commentary: Native Flame leaves behind a very strong legacy on the track. His come from behind moves were dramatic and most memorable from a very strong crop of three year old colts. He only finished out of the top three five times in his career. He finished second behind Impressario, a Triple Crown Winner, in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile year six and was widely respected by many great trainers during his racing years. He is very nearly duplicating his racing record while he shows, finishing seven times out of the top three in three day eventing. From the looks of it Native Flame is going to be getting large foals out of very good mares. He is powerful, but has that relaxed nature that all champions seem to have.
Perfect Matches: He would be best paired with a fiery mare with a medium build as he is very laid back and a giant eighteen hands tall.
His Foal's Acheivements:
[x] Fire Dancer is a grade two filly who has won the prestigious Novizio Derby, the first leg of the Risorgimento Cup and just placed 3rd in the Y11 Breeder's Cup Ladies Classic! Fire Dancer also won a Y10 encouragement award and currently has a consistency of 82% of placing in the money.
[X] Indian Darling is owned by Ripley Marsh and Witch Creek Stables. This Y10 born filly out of Strike the Win, will be making her racing debut this year and we're excited to see how she succeeds.
[X] Van Guard is a Y10 colt born out of Thanks For the Memories. He just came out of the BC Yearling Show and will also be debuting this year in the races. We're definitely invested in this colt and are eager to see the great things he'll achieve this season.
