Currie Bailey(right) and Lorrie Cassara (left) are not only business partners but mother and daughter, and are the team that makes up CB Performance Horses. With their 40+ combined years of experience in the horse industry and their love of quality horses they have decided to join together and provide a facility that offers Lessons, training, sales and boarding in a friendly, fun environment. They emphasize the importance of proper horsemanship in any discipline you want to pursue. From the weekend trail rider, to the competitive barrel racer. Without proper horsemanship skills the bond between horse and rider will never be strong. They strive to teach those skills to the beginning child or the competitive adult no matter what pen you want to ride in.
Currie began her riding at about 8 years old aboard a Palomino Pony Hunter. She soon graduated up to the highly competitive Paint Horse competition where she received most of her awards riding “Majors Zipper.” Winning 30 youth and amateur state championships in events ranging from working hunter to trail, 2 APHA World Championships in Pole Bending and Barrel Racing, 4 APHA Reserve World Championships titles in Stake Race, Barrel Racing, Pole Bending and Goat Tying, Reserve All-Around National Youth Champion, an APHA Youth Versatility Award, 2 Sportsmanship Awards, several National Honor Roll positions an countless yearling Lunge Line futurity winnings, Currie Bailey has learned from the best. Currie spent many years training with top trainers including Lauri Cummings-Blake, Diane and Rusty Paris, Terri Carrico and Jason Contreras. She started running competitive barrel races in 1996 and although she continues to show Paint Horses her true love is the speed of Barrel Racing.
Currie’s goals are to continue to train quiet, reliable and fast barrel horses for open, youth and amateur exhibitors. In addition, she truly loves sharing her knowledge with the Youth and Amateurs through her lesson program and watching them become successful. Teaching fundamentals in events from showmanship, western pleasure to barrel racing, CB Performance Horses has the knowledge and the experience to help you reach your goals. Be it the small child just learning the basics of horsemanship or the older adult wanting to get back into the saddle.
Lorrie Cassara, has been active with horses since very early on also. She has owned and shown quarter and Paint horses since 1984 winning titles in Working Hunter, Hunter Hack, Trail and Horsemanship. Lorrie has been a knowledgeable breeder who through the years has bred several State and National Champions and countless futurity show winners. Lorrie will be running the day to day operations of the boarding facility and overseeing the sale horses and events.
