I’m writing this as the admin of this page, but also Lucy’s assistant of over 10 years. First off, I’m wishing Lucy a very happy birthday today!! 🎉🎉 Secondly, I’m writing this to thank Lucy for all the incredible moments over the years. Thank you, Lucy, for all your support, your generosity, your kindness, and your never ending love for this job that is definitely not always easy.

These pictures are all of Lucy and I- candid moments, moments with my horses, moments featuring wins and successes, but many many more moments not pictured featured Lucy constantly uplifting me, getting me through difficult times in my life and so many times I nearly gave up this sport and this career.

So thank you Lucy, for everything you do for me and all of your clients. We appreciate you and love you more than you know. Happy Birthday 🎉

Sincerely, Bailey.
