Grandson of High Sign Nugget and BCA Flyin Higher whose legacy continues in this wonderful horse.

"BCA Flyin Higher" still appears on the ApHCC leading stallion list nearly 20 years after his untimely death. He won his OMB award and produced offspring who excelled in many different events, all of them, in reality; Halter, Western Pleasure, English Pleasure, Trail, Games, Reining, Cutting, Driving and Racing. BCA Flyin Higher was the second Canadian stallion to be a Supreme Sire Award winner. Versatility being the name of the game, when those horses could win a halter class, and go on to do well in whatever performance event their rider chose to excel in. And I am proof of that, since I rode Flyin High when I was a girl, and started and rode and showed many off his offspring. For all of this I owe my Mom a huge debt of gratitude.

This most recent chapter of my story thus begins in November 2009, with a 3000 kilometer trip, across Alberta, thru the interior of BC and thru the mountains, on some very treacherous roads, with a stallion that I only just met none the less. Salishan and I made friends on our journey together, with me loving him immediately and he trusting me to keep him safe. His background is only slightly known to me, but the fact remains that my Mom bred and raised and sold this colt. It is pure luck to have him here with me now. He spent the first week here at home, settling into a nice large paddock, with my other horses looking on. The day I decided to start working with him, started out just saddling up, and seeing that there were no issues there, getting on and working thru walk, trot, lope, whoa and reverse. He was wonderful right from the start, my thanks to his previous owner, a good start is so important, no matter where it goes from there. Our next ride took us out into the pasture, where we scared up birds and rabbits, all the while my dog making laps around us. Shandy is a sensible horse, with no issues either by nature or by training, he is absolutely a wonder to ride. We have since been out thru the cows, down the road, circles in the summer fallow field, and taken advantage of all sorts of "trail" type obstacles. I don't know when I have ever encountered a horse with so much sense, and one as pretty as he is to boot. I have given him a large pasture now for his domain, and a few gelding friends to keep him company thru this winter. It is my goal to have a healthy happy stallion, and in a few years some of his offspring too, to grace the lives of those who would be fortunate enough to have one. I have fallen completely head over heels for this horse, and have made a promise to the heavens, that I will give him the very best life possible.
