2018 Draft-Cross Mare

16 hh

Mercedes is as classy as her name suggests. She is a true testament to the versatility of draft crosses. She has already had a successful show career both in jumping and working her way through the lower levels of dressage.

This fancy girl does know how to get the job done on the ranch side as well and has the stamina to work all day long. She has the finesse of a show and all the skills you want in a ranch horse. Beautiful mover and floats across the ground. Neck reins, side passes, great lope off, rollbacks and good stops.

Mercedes is an excellent candidate for fox hunting and loves to go out trail riding or hacking out through the pastures. She loves attention and is a very people oriented horse. Very well mannered both in the barn and out in the field.

Mercedes is as fancy as they come and you will definitely feel like you are riding in luxury.

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
