Holy hell, that is a rare treasure there.
My paint, whom I have thrown bears and a wolf over the saddle without issue, would have blown a fuse with that Roman Candle stunt.

For what it is worth, the hands down best horse around kids that I have ever seen was a sorrel Arabian stallion, when I was a kid in 4H. Another kid in my town rode him and even when I was 12-13 years old, I could tell that was a rare horse.
