South Branch Stables

Introduce ourselves & Dixie our bue heeler that is a crazy head!!! 

Danny and I have had a passion for horses all our life, and any possible experience that you could when it comes to having a horse in your life.

Later in life,  after my 2 sons grew up I was able to purchase another horse, which I bought from Danny; which was the first time I ever met him! 

Found the horse of my dreams.  A beautiful/spirited Endurance Arabian named Ceres; didn’t realize in with the purchase deal came along Danny in on the deal.  : - ) 

Almost 10 years now I have accustomed to the deal/arrangement.  To hear from Danny’s story it was the other way around.  Well you know what people say “watch those horse traders”!!!

We should have met each other years ago, and could have started our dream earlier in our life.  Please look thru our web site to get a look into our dream that is in progress.

We want horse enthusiasts like ourselves to enjoy their horses.  After I started showing our Tennessee Walking Horse, Go Boy’s Trooper Man; we wanted to bring the opportunity to our community a fun gaited horse show arena.  The track is awesome for a gaited horse with wide turns.  There is plenty of shade and a breeze every day.  Our hopes are to get other gaited horse clubs and arenas together and have a championship challenge from each show arena at the end of each year.

Our fun shows have some great old time music that will make you wiggle a little bit to the beat, along with the horses enjoying it also. 

An obstacle course is starting up in our area, which we have one at the end of each show.

In addition if horse enthusiasts are interested we hope to plan just an obstacle course show itself.

Your favorite foods are served where you can sit under a shade tree and watch the folks on their horses have fun.  Get to mingle with old acquaintances and tell horse stories.  The kids get involved; they get to have a stick horse race along with prizes. 

When I was showing I always wanted a trophy, so we give trophies to each championship winner.  After we get known in the community and bring in more horses, we will have trophies for each class. 

Wonder why we call the arena “Harold Bailey Arena”?  Danny and Harold Bailey very close friends.  He was a big horse advocate, enjoyed shows immensely.  When Danny and I were sitting down one day after a hard day working on the arena, he said “You know; Harolette (which was Harold’s nickname) would be here everyday if he was still alive.”  “He would love this”.  Right then and there we decided to name it "Harold Bailey Arena". 

Danny and I hope to meet you some day, please come and enjoy the fun.
