Howdy! I am Scotty Nicks, a lifelong Hoosier Horseman. I would like to thank the Best Of The West team and Ike Sankey for accepting my consignments to their prestigious sale.
Since I was eight, I have never been without a horse or a pony.  I grew up showing contest horses. I tell people “I ran barrel horses till  I got bigger than the barrel”.  My three children also did all the contesting events and were very active in 4-H. My girlfriend showed Appaloosas and was the 1996-1997 Miss Appaloosa America. I also competed in roping, western pleasure, reining, and team penning.
I owned the International Team Penning Journal Magazine for several years and centered my time with putting on team pennings, selling penning horses, supplying cattle, and giving clinics.
I have always been interested in the racehorse industry so I became a thoroughbred and quarter horse trainer. I collected 31 firsts, 42 seconds, and 44 thirds in just a few seasons while owning Heart of Kentucky Trailer Sales in Shepherdsville, KY selling new and used aluminum horse trailers.
After being in the horse business for over forty years, I have learned a lot and figured out what horses will be best for people with and without experience.
I hope you will be more than satisfied with this group of horses and mule that I have selected. I am honored and excited to present them at this sale.
Sincerely,
Scotty
