Megan and Flicka

Meet Megan and her mare, Flicka, whose show name is First Edition. 

Flicka's breeding is a cross between Westphalian/Rhineland and Thoroughbred. Before Megan owned her, Flicka went in carriage pulling competitions. From that experience she learned she could plow down anything by laying her chest into it. She would break the fences almost every day to get to the green grass outside the field. 

Megan bought Flicka when she was four years old and showed her in hunter and equitation classes, plus some dressage and eventing. Megan says if Flicka wasn't trying to drag her down the aisle to get to the treat bucket, she was escaping from her stall or the indoor ring after teaching herself how to open any gate.

* Do you know the origin of  Westphalian and Rhineland horses?
