Supreme Temptation:  Coming 8 yr old 16h 1/2 Arabian 1/2 Saddlebred. His sire, A Temptation, is pure Polish, and his dam is Dancin At The Ritz.  This horse has fabulous recoveries and is absolutely pure fun to ride!  He loves people.   "Baluga" as we call him (after the white whale) is extremely gentle and not a spook on trail.  He has done several 50s, including receiving high vet score, and always 100% sound, but his lifelong partner is one who wants to do limited distance with a great big fun horse!  Breeders Sweepstakes.  Baluga will be doing a 50 at the open ride at the US National Championship  on Tuesday Oct 27th.   Supreme Temptation just won the open 50 in 5 hours and got Best Condition AND high vet score!  He has won two high vet scores in 4 rides!  He also has outstanding talent for eventing!  Supreme Temptation has found his perfect match with Marsha Greenway of Ohio!  We are very sorry to hear Supreme Temptation passed away from PHF.  I hope you find another to take his place in your heart Marsha.

Quantum Leap MMA:   12 year old NSH.  This gelding is a huge 15.3.  He is   Breeders Sweepstakes and he is a SON of Promotion!! "Rocky"  is everyone's favorite to ride.  He is absolutely FUN.  Very surefooted, and super smooth and a wonderful big walk.   Rocky is currently doing 50 mile rides, but he would make an excellent dressage horse as well.  Sitting his trot is no problem at all! He was a lesson horse for years and he is very tolerant of all types of riders, but he loves nothing better than to go and go on trail!  It is so wonderful to just go and not have to worry about shying, tripping, bolting, etc!  If you want a horse that is completely a joy to ride and a best friend to enjoy the trails, he is for you!  He is also a horse any of your family can ride as well. Look at this record!  Rocky placed 1st featherweight at Cougar Prowl Mar 12,  19 out of 93 at TX Bluebonnet April 2nd at his "jog trot", and 1st featherweight again (5th place) at Coontrail Caper May 1st! And he just WON the L & S ride June 11th!!   Rocky is now owned by Larry Treadwell in Topeka KS.  Do not hesitate to write Larry and Annette about Firedance Farms Horses!  a.treadwell@att.net
