May 19, 2021 Comments Off on Snap It Send It Named 2020 NSBA Horse of the Year
It’s a tongue in cheek saying that we’d all like a unicorn: a perfect, dream-fulfilling, look-to-the stars kind of horse–a horse that takes us on a magical, unbelievable journey. When Snap It Send It, a 2016 AQHA gray mare, entered Kent Ray Taylor’s life, she seemed destined to make his dreams come true. Imagine a horse so special that, despite a 2020 show season cut short due to the pandemic, she garnered enough points and futurity money to win the title of NSBA Horse of the Year. That mare is “Bailee,” a horse worthy of being crowned Kent Ray’s unicorn.

The vast array of colors and coat patterns that a horse can possess is nothing short of divine. Certainly genetics and bloodlines play a huge part in determining whether a foal will come into the world with a bald face or a speckled backside, but there is something miraculous that happens during the process to determine when and how coloring is placed.

Likely your performance (or your trainer’s impression of said performance) will dictate the tone of the conversation that’s about to take place. We’ve all been there. In fact, most of us can guess what our trainer is about to say based upon the raise of an eyebrow, a big grin, or the shake of a head.
