Bailey & ???
Bailey has been riding for 2–3 years and first discovered her passion for horses around the age of 9 or 10. Before joining her current program, she gained experience riding at a barn where she focused on English riding for several years. She especially enjoys riding English now, spending her lesson time working on more complex patterns and improving her connection and communication with her horse. Since joining the show team in 2021, Bailey has continued to grow as a rider, developing both her technical skills and her confidence in the saddle.
This past season, Bailey’s show horse was Ben, with whom she built a meaningful partnership. One of her favorite aspects of being on the show team is the bond she forms with her horse—learning from them while also guiding and teaching them in return. She values the relationship that develops through consistent work and trust, and she appreciates how each horse contributes to her growth as a rider. Her favorite show memories include spending time at the barn with friends, enjoying the atmosphere of competitions, and connecting with others after classes.
Looking ahead to the new season, Bailey is focused on continuing to improve her riding skills while strengthening her partnerships with the horses she works with. She is excited to keep challenging herself with more advanced patterns and to build on the foundation she has developed over the past few years. With a positive attitude and a love for both the sport and her teammates, Bailey is eager to make the most of the upcoming show season.
