Featured Video: Maizey the dog and her horse Bailey

There’s a new sheriff in town, and it’s Maizey.

Maizey is a yellow lab who knows how to rock a bandanna. She’s also working on her horsemanship skills with one very patient and very cute horse named Bailey. Bailey has a good grasp on things like yielding to pressure and responding to “whoa.” Maizey has some work to do, but that’s okay. We all start somewhere.

Maizey’s working on her skills in the saddle, too. She puts on her favorite riding outfit and off she and Bailey go, setting out to catch the bad guy and ride off into the sunset. Good girl, Maizey. Good boy, Bailey.
