Nia Bailey was born in June 1992 and discovered her passion for horses from a young age. She frequently attended riding lessons at her local equestrian center, where she quickly developed her skills in the saddle. In her early teens she competed at local shows in unaffiliated classes in both showing and showjumping until her sixteenth year. With enough riding experience she bought her own pony, a project to school and train. Working with her own pony further developed her abilities dramatically and eventually this sparked off her interest in breaking and schooling horses from scratch. At first she helped out with experienced friends, learning the basics and essentials, developing her knowledge even more until her confidence had fully blossomed. Nia then bought her own pony to break in and school, eventually building a reputation through word of mouth. Requests for her service came in steadily, which was perfect for funding her way through college, until demands became so high that Nia had to finish college to attend to her clients. Her success has grown and Nia has now built strong enough foundations to start making her interest a professional business.
The services Bailey's provides are standard halter breaking, mouthing and backing, but we also provide extra services such as re-mouthing for horses who have not been ridden for long lengths of time, as well as rehabilitation for horses who have recovered from injury and need re-introducing to ridden work. On top of breaking in, we also provide schooling services in basic flatwork to achieve three steady, balanced paces, and in jumping to achieve a smooth and confident take off. We also take on any difficult or 'problem' ponies/horses that rear, buck, nap etc. to re-educate and re-school, provided they have had prior checks to their back, teeth and tack. As well as schooling your horses, Nia can also compete on your behalf in dressage, showjumping and ridden showing.
Whilst your horse is with us, we will ensure it receives nothing but the best tender loving care. We will provide your horse with a stable, bedding, haylage or hay and, if required, dentist and farrier attention. Throughout our service we will update you with your horse's progress and inform you of any recommendations or suggestions to ensure your horse stays happy and healthy. On agreement of a service, we require our clients to read and sign a contract and disclaimer.
