Jaebars Flash (Smart Little Jaebar x Chics Madam Chair x Playgun) was displayed on cattle, but the highlight of his trip through the sale pen was when his young rider removed his bridle and rode him around the sale ring. He demonstrated the horse’s good disposition by standing on the gelding while he was still bridleless, after which the bidding continued to increase.

The gelding finished in the top 10 in the Senior Youth in the 2016 National Cutting Horse Association World standings.
