Playing With Matches is one of those young prospects that commands your attention.  She was born on March 23, 2013, and has improved the scenery ever since.

 

She is the 3rd foal produced by ASF Spark, and also happens to be the 3rd filly.  She's feminine and elegant like her Thoroughbred dam, Pleasant Way, with a splash of extra substance from her sire.  She's athletic, balanced, attractive and very well socialized.  She's an absolute sweetheart, very friendly and a treat to handle and work with.  She's easy to catch, lead, tie, groom, bathe, tack up, and lunge.  She loads easily and travels well.   She's a very intelligent and willing learner. This filly has received regular consistent handling that will give her a foundation which should make her pleasure  to train in the future. 

 

Her dam was raced, then retired sound and went on to a career as a hunter/jumper. She competed in PA and then in TX before becoming a broodmare. 

 

Matches currently stands 15.2 1/2 hands, and is expected to mature 15.3, possibly a little taller based on her parents heights, and will be a very fancy, modern, athletic, agile, supple, and balanced prospect. Both of her parents have aptitudes for jumping, so this filly should follow suit with the right foundation and training.  She should be well-suited as a hunter, equitation horse, jumper, eventer or dressage mount.
