clockwise from top: Heather & Fanny, Heather & Integrity and Fantom
Flying Change Farm's beloved homebred F.C. Fantasy
passed away on May 27, 2008 following post surgical
complications. Fantasy, known fondly around the
farm as Fanny, was foaled on the property in 1989.
She was an Anglo-Hanovarian out of "Dave's Result,"
a mare that Heather Mason had bought in foal to a
Thoroughbred for $300 and then rebred to Flugzauber
which resulted in Fantasy.
Fantasy and Heather had a strong and unique bond
that yielded an extremely successful career, which
started by winning the Region 1 Championships and Bengt
Linquist Memorial Championship in 1993 at First and
Second Level Freestyle, as a 4 year old, and high
score at that level in the Champioships'
history. To complete the year Fantasy won the
prestigious USDF Horse of the Year Award at First
Level in only four competitions. While moving up
the levels Fantasy was the 1994 4th Level Champion
at Dressage At Devon, and was on the Gold Medal
winning team twice for the Can Am Challenge
(Festival of Champions and Dressage at Devon).
Fantasy also qualified for the Olympic Festival as a
7 year old. When she was 10 years old Heather
began to compete her in the Grand Prix and in 2002
Fantasy won the CBLM Championships at Intermediare
II, Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle. Her
success continued in 2004 with 1st place USDF All
Breed Awards at Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle
for both the American Warmblood Society and the
Purebred Hanovarian Society as well as Region 1
GAIC Grand Prix Freestyle Championship.
Fantasy's accomplishments and awards were
numerous both in an out of the competition arena,
but one her greatest success was being a wonderful
mother. She had 2 fillies and a colt, Eskapade (by
Eskapado) was sold on and is currently competing in
the Hunters. Integrity (by Incognito) preparing to
compete in the Grand Prix, and Fantom (by Nimbus), a
yearling, both of whom have remained with Heather.
For the last 19 years family and friends of Fantasy
have been blessed to know her dynamic personality.
She was a powerhouse in the competition arena,
always giving 100% and full of heart. Her kind eye
and loving nature will forever be missed.

Quarter horse
fillies, Emerald and Saphire, and 3 other colts had been purchased
