Fire of Alabama "Dwight"
2015 AQHA gelding Crime of Fire (son of Crimewave) out of a daughter of the late Alabama Okie
15HH
If you're looking for a really fun horse to ride at home and take him to the local jackpots or work at home and have a good time, this is your guy. I've done everything with Dwight. We've crossed creeks and gone through various trails and sandhills, chased cattle, ridden bridleless, attended clinics, etc. Dwight has been hauled to numerous overnight events and hauls like a dream. He can be left tied to the trailer all day and will never pull back. He is not cinchy or cold backed and is great with the farrier, vet, and chiropractor.
He is not just a barrel horse but is one of those unicorns that can transition to any event and enjoy every ride in between. Dwight will work all day for you and I can see him excelling in roping or pasture/feedlot jobs.
Dwight has worked the flag when he was younger and attended various cow horse clinics at 3-4 years of age under names such as Jeff Switzer, Taylor Douglas and Dale Clearwater. He has also attended barrel racing clinics with Krystal Grad and Dawn Vandersteen. Dwight has not had his legs run off as I only compete at a handful of events every summer where he has clocked me anywhere from 2D-4D. It really just depends how fast you want him to go that day. I tend to just cruise him. He's clocked top of 2D in large pens with over 100+ horses and will easily clock 1D as I've never asked him for speed. Tends to be a bit slower in smaller indoor pens but I'm not aggressive so this will change if you like speed. He's had a six week refresher this January with Krystal Grad. He's also spent time on the pattern with Sharra Sage for a few months when he was younger during my first pregnancy. Dwight can also run/ride through any type of terrain and runs just as strong through mud as he does sand. He knows where his feet are at all times and is a well balanced barrel horse. He could very easily transition to work with cattle or a feedlot and has had a rope swung off him. He's very eager to please and can work all day without a second thought. He has roped off a bull that unexpectedly got out at the trainer's and he happened to be the one under saddle at the time so he got the call to work and did great. He can long trot behind an ATV and can be ridden through ditches and roads.
Spins, counter arcs, serpentines - he can do them all. He's also exactly the same horse with time off and doesn't get "fresh". He has a very smooth lope and can easily pick up his lope from a walk. Big people pleaser, he just wants to get the job done and make you look good doing it!
He's fancy and has all the moves. Dwight is a very smooth ride and has a memorizing movement. Also knows the pole bending pattern. He's the only horse I rode when I was over 6m pregnant and is very trustworthy. You can ride him in the fields, arena or a parking lot for all he cares. Pull up at an event and hop right on! He's the same everywhere.
Requires minimal maintenance. This horse is the real deal if you're just looking to have a good time hauling down the road or give him a job at home.
Would make a great junior or high school rodeo horse. Would recommend an intermediate rider as his throttle is right there so not recommended for beginner riders.
He honestly has no quirks and you get what you see with him. Tons of photos and videos available. He's been my #1 guy since 2017. He is eligible for Legends of the Prairie sidepots.
Up to date on feet, teeth and chiro.
