Meet My Horse


Hello!

My horse is a registered Tennessee Walking horse. She is three years old and is so naughty! My Dad and I trained her. Right now, my family and I are out of state, so she is at home being boarded. Boy, do I miss her!

Her name is Apaches Princess Bailee. However, her barn name is just Bailee. When we got her, we changed her name spelling to two e's at the end in stead of ey!

I have loved Bailee since I first met her, when she was still drinking milk from Buttercup, her Mom! I took very disappointing horse lessons from her owner for about 2 years before starting to take real lessons. Then, in the Summer of 2008, we were searching for horses, and I found a nice yearling, named Donkey, I planned on changing his name to Lucky. We decided to go to a horse auction just to see, before we bought Lucky. We were looking at all of the different horses, and what do you know, there is Bailee! You can imagine the tears. We ended up purchasing her, even though we had no spot to put her. That was one of the best days of my life. Bailee stayed at the ladies house until we had finished building a log shelter for her, and a nice big pen for her. It was so very exciting when she came home two weeks later!

Now, I miss her much, and am so excited to start riding her again this Spring/Summer!!

Now that I have told you about Bailee, you shall tell me about your horses!
