Description: “President Nico” recently raced at Golden Gate Fields, was retired sound and immediately transferred to the barn of hunter-jumper trainer Shauna Pennell in Simi Valley, CA. This gorgeous gelding boasts lots of chrome on his face and on all four of his legs. After being evaluated, it was clear that Nico was destined for a career in all things Western. From trail courses to Western Dressage, and barrel racing to Western Pleasure, Nico is a steady, sensible, and smart mount. He is being trained by Maile Baird-Steelgrave for the show world. Nico won several first place ribbons at his first horse show. Update- June 2014: Nico has been adopted by Teri R. and will be enjoying the trails of Utah.
