FLEXIBLE CONQUERS THE WORLD CUP FINALS The little horse that
can..and did!!
its amazing rider, Rich Fellers, and we say it here in pictures. Sitting around a table or standing around the ring, that duo is all the talk of our high performance sport right now. They are a blazing light about possibilities and dreams that CAN AND DO come true out here in the west. This little horse is from the west, the Pacific Northwest to
T
be exact. He arrived there a number of years ago for his owner Harry and Mollie Chapman and is stabled in Wilsonville, Oregon, a location becoming more and more popular for breeding farms and top notch trainers. In his rise to the top, he has done the vast majority of his competing right out here in the west, up and down the coast with a trip east or to Europe being the rare exception. The spoken belief that to win ANYTHING of any magnitude,
you must go to Europe certainly does not hold water here, he is our “home town” hero proving it can be done and that our shows provide great opportunity. Congratulations to the Flexible Team and a big WOW!!
here are volumes to say about this fantastic horse and
