Bailey's Irish Creme

About Bailey

Born on St Patrick's Day, Bailey's Irish Creme is one of the last horses sired by the great SWB stallion, Brando. Brando was imported by Anne Gribbons, the first SWB stallion to be  imported into the USA. Brando was initally trained and ridden by Jan Brink when he was a young student at Flyinge.

Bailey's dam, Victory at Concord, has produced several first place winners at Devon in the Hunter Divisions.

Bailey, who has many traits like his dad (including his handsome conformation) has been ridden in all gaits. He has been out of training recently as other horses at the farm kept us busy. He would love to have a new "forever" rider who will have fun with him.  He is in excellent health and has no vices, just a big personality wanting to get back into the swing of things.  He gets along well with other horses, including most mares. If you purchase Bailey and want a relative, his full siser is available for lease as a broodmare.

Very comfortable gaits.  Bailey is a smart boy who catches on quickly, and he will untie your shoelaces when you least expect it. You will love him!
