The name Ashley was on his official documents & everything when we got him. I'd love to hear more about "heart horses." I've never heard that term. He was such a sweetie, he always tread carefully & was gentle when I was on his back, he knew I was just a kid. He lived til his early 30's.
He was gentle w/ kids, but was SO fast w/ adults. He won all the flat-out races at Morgan Horse Days here in VT for years. Once I hit teenage years, I had to urge him to go faster w/ me, I think he still thought of me as a kid. I wish I had talked to him more like he understood me as I got older.
Cause I know he understood me. When my ex step mom left & took all her horses (she had been the horse [& better] influence), poor Flash was alone for a long time w/my dad. He had a sad ending to his life, which is so heartbreaking to think of. My dad (my abuser) didn't take good care of him.
I wish I could have been there to take care of him better near the end, but I was going through my own problems at the time. Good ol' Ashley Berklyn. ❤️ Thank you for reminding me of him. He was such a good horse. He deserved better. 🐎 I hope he's being taken good care of in the pasture in the Sky.
