I reached out to Bailey about a year ago with my wish list, and I still can't believe how lucky I am - she found her. I have had Lena about a year. We are having new experiences all the time and trust is growing ever day. We ride alone, in groups and trailer to parks - any issues have pretty much been me. I would highly recommend buying from Bailey. She knew more what I needed than I knew!

"My husband found me a trail horse for sale on craigslist at Black Cursive. I fell in love with the horse instantly when i went to try him out. Bailey Bradshaw is a true professional and assessed my riding ability and offered me 4 free lessons to make sure the horse was the right fit for me. She is an excellent teacher, patient, kind, friendly, and definately knows her stuff. I love my new horse and have put my honery mare on a waiting list for her to assess and train. I'm happy to have made a new friend with Bailey. Thank you Black Cursive!!"

"I bought a horse a coupe of years ago from BCPH. A 9yr old jet -black mare named Midnight. Bailey, was beyond honest about this horse. I felt like she really wanted me to know every detail so I could make my decision accurately. This horse was going to be ridden by my children and their safety was paramount. I felt Miss Bradshaw wanted my children to be as safe as I did, and was not focused on the money and getting this horse sold. Once I got this mare home , she was way more than I thought. Not only was she a wonderful childrens playday horse but I could run her fast, shoot off her, trail ride her across anything, chase cows, haul her anywhere and ride , just imcredible mare! I also consigned a horse with her and was treated with respect and profesionalism the entire time. The horse was sold within a month to a wonderful home. I would buy from her again ! I would consign with her again! And recommend her to my friends for sales, training , consignment and if we lived closer, my children would be taking lessons. Bailey cares more about her reputation and a clients happiness than making a buck. Of course, bils don't get paid by good deeds but if you spend your money here, you won't regret it. Hard to say that about most of the horse sellers out there. I need it to be noted that I am not a personal friend and these opinions are based on my business dealings with BCPH."

"I just love Bailey’s style and patience with training horses. I had gotten a mare from a kill pen and the only video I had of the mare being ridden was a quick 3 minute clip. I was looking for someone that I could trust to give her 30 days of riding/training and give me an honest answer on her. I wasn’t expecting the mare to be a rodeo/ play day horse, but one I could take out on trail rides with friends and not leave me on the ground. I have to say, I was so happy/ excited about her after 30 days, I asked to keep her there another 30. She has her turning on her back end and even side passing. Not only does she train them right, she also takes care of them. I love the facility. I’m so glad I found Bailey! I have another gelding that I want to send to her later this fall. I know she’ll work her magic on him."
- Lydia Langston Nall

"Black Cursive Performance Horses has a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The facility and horses are well taken care of and the environment is fun and casual. I highly recommend working with Lee Bailey as she is honest and has a visible love for her horses.... We are in love with Hamlet! I didn’t expect to find one so quickly but he is a really amazing guy. We got very lucky thanks to Lee Bailey Bradshaw. Black Cursive Performance Horses has wonderful people and horses."
- Christie Hoffman

"I highly recommend Bailey Bradshaw and her training techniques. I am always learning. She will find out your weaknesses and help you overcome them. It's about horsemanship, confidence and becoming a good rider at any skill level. This is the best therapy a girl could ask for. One hour a week lessons with Bailey and the horses are the best things that I do for myself. I'm still a beginner, but I couldn't have made it this far without the patience and focus Bailey gives to her clients. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
- Shealene Boolman

"Bailey is one of the best trainers I've worked with and has done a phenomenal job with Apollo. This is the best this horse has ever been!"
- Rachel McGill

"Lee is an amazing trainer! I brought my yearling Shire for basic groundwork and manners just to lay a foundation for him. She is so patient with all horses, but especially the young ones. It was such a positive experience that Liberty is eager to learn what I want from him. When he is old enough to start riding, I will definitely bring him back for the next step." (2018)

I can not say enough good things about BCPH. Bailey really listens to her clients about what they want out of their horse. I know she is a master at training barrel prospects but she excelled at starting my Shire baby as well. My goal for now was to make him safe to ride until he matures more. She sent me home with a sweet, calm, attentive baby that rides calmly without worry. Thank you so much BCPH for giving me the results I wanted, as well as taking such good care of my baby! I will absolutely be returning when he is older and ready for more and we will be sending our other baby to her as well! (2019)

"(I got) 30 days of training on my junior stallion! (Bailey) did an excellent job getting him started! 5 star review!
- Lauren Killingsworth, owner of Rockin K Quarter Horses

"Bailey started my mare for me and did a fantastic job! I have since then sent multiple people her direction for many difference services."
- Kelli Miller

"Lee Bailey, you are so patient and knowledgeable! I was looking or a trainer I could trust to send one of my babes to, and trust me - I did my fair share of vetting! She came highly recommended and now I see why! I was looking for a professional opinion on my horse and if she felt he could honestly turn into a competition can chaser. She was HONEST and dedicated to my needs/wants. Ive recommended her to anyone and everyone that has asked me for trainer recommendations! "
-Micaleh Lantrip

"I've been taking lessons from Bailey since the beginning of the year. She has been the best instructor I have ever had and continues to be a great source of education between riding and training. She helped me gain my confidence backs well as helped me go to my first show in a few years, and took 1st at said show! I highly recommend Bailey for lessons, boarding, and training!"
- Kayle Livengood-Kickertz

"I consigned a mare with Miss Bailey! She gave me an honest assessment, love her writeup about my horse. Bailey is energetic and enthusiastic about her job! Young, hardworking, and tenacious!"
- Melinda Harllee Bell

"I have sent multiple horses to Bailey for tuneups and have been very happy with the results. I trust her completely with my horses and they have always come back greatly improved."
- Wendy Lambourghini

"My husband and I have purchased, boarded, taken lessons, and had horses in training with Bailey and have always been pleased with her professionalism and honesty. On a scale of 1 to 10, she's a 20... Bailey also found the perfect horse for my husband!"
- Gina Marie Mendola La Bella

"We had a paint mare (Dixie) that came for an evaluation and consignment for sale. My husband and I were impressed with Bailey's knowledge, professionalism, and straight honesty. It was nice to see a horse professional to go out of their way to be truthful. She has also been great with our children and we wish we lived closer so they could take lessons. We would use her again and recommend her barn for consignment, training, evaluations, lessons, and consulting. Id like to add that ALL the horses onsite look healthy and very well taken care of."
- Melonie Marley Canga Lewis

"We had our Bluebonnet Rescue horse, Remi, in with Bailey and Black Cursive Performance Horses for a 2 week tuneup. She continues to help my daughter with her training. We highly recommend Bailey for training and for lessons!
- Karen Johnson-Samualson

"For the past year and a half, Ive finally been the "boarder." Ive always been the trainer and been in charge of every detail of my horses care. Its been a breath of fresh air to be with Bailey. I know without a doubt they're okay and being taken care of. She has great open communication, knowledge, and fairness between everyone. Payments are easy through Paypal and she keeps everything and everyone scheduled perfectly. 100% recommend boarding with her!"
- Alex Dewitt

"I have used the services of Ms. Lee Bailey Bradshaw for horsehair jewelry, training, and consignment and I give her 5/5 across the board. She is tallented and professional and I highly recommend any of her services.
- Jennifer Prater, 2018

"Lilly had 30 days of training (with Bailey). She was definitely not your arena type of horse and thrived on working cattle. Bailey figured her out and she's been great ever since! If I ever need another horse trained on, I would definitely send them to Bailey."
- Kimberly Allen

"Hey Bailey! Just wanted to be in touch and let you know that Peppy is doing great! I've been riding her almost every night and last weekend trailered her up to an arena near Florence, covered and dynamite turf!...Thanks again for all you've contributed to moving her forward with her training!!"
- Bob Hansen

"I recently had an opportunity to ride with Bailey and in my 48 years of experience with raising, training and showing horses I can pick out the true horseman or horsewomen by just observing them while they ride and relate to the horse. I have trained several young riders that have gone on to be professionals in training and showing horses, and as proud of them as I am, I must give credit where it is due and Bailey has shown me that she understands and reads into what each horse needs. She has a maturity that is beyond her years and I would recommend her for starting a young horse or correcting behavioral issues. There is more to training and maintaining a truly broke horse than sitting in the saddle and follow a 123 or ABC plan, or playing games, it is about feel and connection and some are born with it and some acquire it with time. I can tell that Bailey was born with it and she does what is needed instinctively even when she doesn't know why it came to her but she can recognize that it worked. It will be a pleasure to watch her as she grows in her talents as I get to know her in the future."
- Carol D. (Cowboy Christmas Obstacle Competition Champion, 1st place)

"Bailey, It's worth a moment to tell you how impressed I was today with your expertise. I really had given up on ever being happy about those horses not doing anything but eating. I haven't had good experiences trusting that my trust wouldn't be in vane in regard to my boys. I do appreciate you cutting the cost today which certainly helps me & absolutely not taken for granted. I had gotten to where I didn't even want to go out there anymore knowing it was costing me to feed animals that don't earn their oats. You gave me a new attitude, I look forward to seeing the boys bloom in your able hands. I really believe you will make them into real horses assuming they cooperate, but I saw a huge improvement today. You aren't easily bluffed by their antics. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you & your training style. "
- Diane Voelker

"Highly impressed with this young woman. She rode a horse I have, whose history of training was not really known. In just one hour the evaluation of this horse was offered and suggestions made. You could tell Bailey has been around horses. I enjoyed her company and so did the horse. This horse was happy while being ridden. It is wonderful to have someone come to your home instead of dropping your horse off with someone you don't know and hope for the best. She will be coming back to my place."
- Cynthia Lawhon

Bailey thank you and your volunteers for putting on an outstanding competition that was fair for everyone. I thought everything went well as could be due to the wind and cold. The girls had so much fun and were excited to see how they finished. Hope you continue these competitions. Until next time may GOD BLESS YOU for all your hard work.
- Moe, Michelle, Jacy and Jodie Taylor

"You did great with our horses! I'm so thankful for you to get them ready so I can ride without worry. Thank you!"
-Susan Nash

"Great business to deal with! Bailey is an awesome trainer and does a great job with her horses. I recently purchased a mare from her that will teach me alot!! Thanks Bailey!!!"
-Lisa Harley

"Bailey Bradshaw, I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your event! The obstacles, organization, and turn-out were great. Great Job! I wish I could've stuck around to get to meet you personally, but my ankle could only stand so much on Saturday. I look forward to your next event!"
