Trying to find the breeders of my horse?
I’ve been really curious lately to find the people and the stables that bred my horse. I’d love to find more about his background and his history as he can be a complicated mess and maybe that might clear up some things.
He is a registered Paint, Sonny Wimps Gunshot (APHA #456,228) out of Sonny Be Tardy (Sorrel/Overo Stallion #230,951). He was born in Kentucky on June 10th, 1998, and the breeder is "Bailey, Gail K/Rita M Beath" from "Dry Ridge, Kentucky" (just typing this off of his registration papers).
Anyone know any good reliable websites that I can find information about my horse on? I’ve tried google, but nothing came up that seemed to be where he was from. Thanks!!
Edit: I’m not a member of APHA as I haven’t put him in my name yet (don’t have the money as of yet to do that)….would they still give me that information even if I’m not a member?
Thanks Alpha
Yes I’ve seen the video (that was the person I bought him from…well that was the agent selling him for the owner).
As for the website, thanks I’ll contact them and see if they were the breeders or know of them

Just because he moves beautifully doesn’t mean he can’t mentally be a complicated mess. I believe there might have been some abuse from a previous over (not the owner I bought him from) and certain things will set him off and he has a very confusing horsenality that totally stumps me at times.
He’s my dream horse and I’ll never give him up, but if you met him and actually played with him, he is really sensitive, emotional, and complicated. I just call him a complicated mess
I found this with Google:
Quarter horse BAILEY, GAIL/ROBERT RAHMLOW Georgetown , Kentucky (920) 918-1655
May be worth a shot. I found the name of a QH stud with it, and this is his page. It shows a woman named "Gigi" with him, as the owner. It’s not too much of a stretch to assume it’s a nickname for Gail. http://www.sargentquarterhorses.com/passtheasset.html
I also found this on The Main Event
"Gigi Bailey has been showing horses for over 25 years and is a recognized judge with the AQHA, NSBA and APHA,.She has trained and exhibited numerous AQHA World Champions in Hunter Under Saddle, Hunter Hack and Pleasure Driving. Her students are consistently in the top placings at the AQHYA World Show, the All American Quarter Horse Congress and most major shows in the country. Gigi Bailey lives in DePere, Wisconsin with her husband Bob Rahmlow. Together they own the stallion Pass The Asset who stands in Kentucky. GiGi and Bob raise young prospects by "Floyd”."
Add- have you seen this sale video of him?

Did you call yet? What did you find out?
I understand completely what you mean about having a well trained horse that has moments of complication. I’ve seen horses that go wonderfully under certain circumstances and with the slightest change have a meltdown- as you said, it’s normally due to abuse, or short cuts taken in their training that leads to gaps in how they process cues and stimuli.
You can contact the Paint Association and they can tell you if he has show points, the owners, the breeders, all that stuff.

If you are a member, they may have a member’s page and you can look all that up yourself. AQHA does and I can find out anything!

Hm, that’s a tough one. Try contacting the APHA, and see if they have other horses registered from this breeder. They may have the contact info.

I’m not going to try to help you with the background. The others have done that quite well. But I aam scratching my heard, wondering why you would call him a "complicated mess". The horse moves beautifully. Maybe it’s your riding skills that are lacking. He does work both English and Western. That’s no small accomplishment for him. Maybe it’s you who needs to catch up to his abilities. You may be giving him mixed signals without realizing it. He seems to have beautiful training. It would be a shame to spoil it.
