Spotlight on Rider: Bailey Moran

Bailey Moran is a fourteen-year-old girl who absolutely loves horses. She started riding at the age of 6 and competed in some hunter shows shortly thereafter. At age 9, Bailey attended her first eventing show as a spectator and she was bitten by the eventing bug.
Bailey started competing as an eventer at the age of 11 on her Welsh/Arab pony named Razzmatazz. In 2009, she was the Beginner Novice High Point Champion for the USEA Area 5 Young Riders. She was the 2009 Beginner Novice Reserve Champion for the USEA Area 5, Jr. Division and she was the 2009 Champion for the Central Texas Eventing Association, Jr. Division. Bailey qualified and competed in the 2009 American Eventing Championships in Wayne, Illinois, an experience that she will never forget.
In January 2009, Bailey was introduced to her soul mate. He was an Irish Sport Horse named Corocotta (Corey) and it was love at first sight. Bailey and Corey have spent the last year getting to know each other. They started competing at the beginner novice level this year and hope to move up to novice this summer. Keep an eye out for this team because they are sure to turn some heads.
Look for Bailey and Corey in performing demonstrations in Dressage, Show Jumping, and Eventing in the Demo Ring at the World Equestrian Games in conjunction with the Irish Village! Photos courtesy of Manuel Flores and www.cherylstephensphotography.com
