“Bailey”
Sire: Zips Clue
Dam: Hug Ez Investor
2004 14.1hh Palomino AQHA/PHBA Mare
Bailey is a gorgeous athletic mare who is the first one to greet you in the pasture. She is incredibly sweet and willing and will pack around even the most novice rider. Although she is bred for Western Pleasure, she has shown herself to be much more suited to ranch horse events and mounted shooting. Her unflappable demeanor makes her a perfect fit for these high octane events. Bailey is 100% sound and does not have any vices. Easy to trailer, tie, clip, bathe, fly spray, etc.
What is she doing now?
Bailey is continuing her career in mounted shooting with her new owner Leslie V. She is enjoying life as a pampered addition to Leslie's herd.
Leslie had this to say about her experience buying Bailey:
"I recently purchased my mounted shooting mare, Bailey, from Nikki after contacting her through a Facebook listing. The ad was very honest and accurate, and Nikki allowed me to take Bailey home for a 2 week trial and prepurchase exam. She wanted to ensure Bailey would be a good fit for me, as much as I did, and there was no pressure on the sale. I am absolutely thrilled with Bailey, and Nikki made the experience very positive. As a therapeutic riding instructor, I have pretty big expectations of a horse when it comes to disposition, ground handling and manners, as well as riding, and I have not been disappointed. I believe this is a testament to Nikki's integrity and versatility as a trainer, to create a willing and well rounded horse well suited to it's discipline. I received Bailey's registration papers with completed transfers without any issue, and Nikki has been easy to communicate with about questions I've had, even after the sale."
