I never knew of it or saw it growing up, sadly.

Weirdly I didn't know of it's existence until Cartoon Network did a one-time special event featuring one episode of old and obscure shows, and Wildfire was one of them. I miss when the channel would actually do cool stuff like that.

Today’s Horse Is:

Wildfire from Wildfire (1986)

Today's Horse Is:

Flick!

Trivia: This is my photo of the Thoroughbred racehorse gelding Flick that I took at Old Friends in 2014. In his racing career he had 51 Starts, 8 Wins, 10 Places, 12 Shows and career earnings of $515,738. His biggest wins came in the 1997 Paradise Mile and 1998 The Wicked North Stakes.

However his fame didn't come from his race record, it comes from his contribution for furthering equine health. In 2000 at 8 years old he tore a suspensory ligament and was the first ever Thoroughbred to successfully fully recover from it using new stem cell and bone marrow treatments. He recovered so well he returned to the track and raced a further two years - winning several stakes and G2 races - before being retired. He was still sound enough that he was to be trained for a second career, but he didn't enjoy it so was sent to spend the rest of his years at Old Friends. His best friend at the sanctuary was fellow star Danthebluegrassman.

Fury!

Trivia: Fury is a Western TV show that ran from 1955-1960 and over 100 episodes about a young boy and a wild stallion named Fury. Fury was an American Saddlebred originally registered under the name Highland Dale, but was renamed Beaut when purchased by a Hollywood horse trainer. Aside from Fury, he also appeared in Rin Tin Tin, Bonanza, The Monkees, Gypsy Colt and Giant. He was one of the biggest horse stars of the time and positive reinforcement was used to teach him how to walk like he was lame, untie knots and play dead, among many other tricks.

Today's Horse Is:

Geralt's new steed from season 2 of The Witcher! While he officially wasn't named yet, I assume it will be Roach.

Also any guesses to his breed? I assumed Friesian at first glance but I feel he's a bit too chunk. Perhaps a Friesian/Percheron cross?
