"Kelly " - Miss Dark Flash
2006 bay mare, 15 hands, 1000 lbs
Kelly is THE REAL DEAL. Just take a look at the picture.... NO hands on the reins. If you want to run at the highest level of competition and be able to win on any given day against any given competitor... you need to try this mare! She is only 5 years old, with a very impressive list of accomplishments as a Futurity horse, and in Open competition. She runs a left handed pattern and is all business. If you like a horse that can run free and wide open and then inhale the turns, skimming the paint off of them while still running forward .... you will love this mare.
Futurity Highlights:
Dec, 2009 - BFA World Championships - Super$takes (3 yr old Juveniles)



This $100k Slot race was won by Famous Silk Panties with a 15.650 and Kelly ran a 15.768

Kelly is just starting out her career, and it's showing to be a very promising one. She is not used up or burnt out. She is at the top of her game once again and ready to go on and keep winning. Now in 2011, she is more mature and seasoned and showing that she is really a force to be reckoned with. Recently she made two runs with a rider who had never been on her and they clocked a 17.4 and 17.2 on standard patterns. She has a huge future ahead of her!!
This mare runs hard all the way into the barrels and turns TIGHT. She keeps forward motion and really rounds up and peels the paint off the barrels. She is a 100% athlete. We would like her to be sold to a very experienced barrel racer who can keep up with her, who is capable of going on and winning with her.
She is trained by Cody Hyde and carries the CP Brand. Cody Hyde horses go on and and win at the highest levels after being sold. They are tough contenders anywhere they go. And Cody will be the first person to point out that he is a big guy and his size actual affects his horses times, and will this mare being petite, we both think that her times will only get better.
Cody has trained numerous recent champions including:
Easy Kipa Dash - Columbia River Circuit Finalist and go round winner,




- DNCFR Arena record holder (with Sue Smith)




- Multiple Pro rodeo and 1D winner.




- Clocking multiple 16's on standard patterns.
Too Again "Mary" - Brn4D World Champion,




- Tim Corfield Memorial Slot Race Champion




- Multiple 16's on standard including a 16.6
FROM THE BROKER: As a broker, I get the opportunity to get on a lot of very nice horses. I have been fortunate to have ridden horses that are Pro Rodeo winners, arena record holders, National Champions , and Several Dash Ta Fames..... Last fall I had the opportunity to ride this mare along with another mare (CH Bishpos Choice... that Cody resently sold) that Cody has for sale, and I can say with complete honesty they are absolutely the fastest, most talented horses I've ever been on. I thought I had been on great horses before, but these two mares showed me that there is a whole new level of barrel horses being developed out there, and Kelly is one of those special kind. I have no doubt that Kelly can go to the top of any competition. ~~ Kim Smith
Note: This mare's only vice is that she is a cribber, but controlled with a collar and her teeth are in good condition.
