Flinstering

About this horse

Available for Trial — DIHP Weeks 6 & 7. For those seeking a true master of the 1.20–1.35m level, Flinstering offers a standard of education and depth of experience rarely available on the market. A proven international campaigner, Frank carries 5* mileage, 3* Grand Prix victories, and a global record spanning Doha, London, Wellington, and Palm Springs, just to name a few. His exposure at the sport’s highest levels ensures a level of composure, reliability, and ring intelligence that only time and exceptional talent can produce. Highly educated and remarkably intelligent, Flinstering is a bold competitor in the ring and a charismatic, engaging personality in the barn. For his junior rider, Frank delivered a remarkable ascent: • From 1.20m to confidently jumping 1.40m • First 1.30m, NAYC, Welcome Stakes, Grand Prix, and 1.40m classes • Multiple wins across these divisions His most recent result includes a 1.35m Welcome win out of 23 entries in early September. Following a well-earned rest and full maintenance program, he returns refreshed and ready to guide his next partner into the next season. After a long and distinguished career at the international level, Frank is now prepared to step down to a lower level, continuing to do what he loves while imparting his knowledge to the right rider. His three-year partnership with his current rider has yielded invaluable mileage, confidence, and a foundation that will last a lifetime. With Flinstering’s expansive resume of experience, there is very little he hasn’t seen or navigated both in and out of the ring. This depth of exposure makes him exponentially confident to the jump and incredibly level-headed in stressful environments, whether that’s shipping, crowded warm-up rings, or new venues. His confidence and enthusiasm to do his job, paired with his sensitivity and intelligence, are what make him the remarkable competitor and professor he is. However, these same qualities mean he is not suited for a beginner ride and will need a professional ride when appropriate. (USEF 5779504)
