On Thursday, December 12, 2013 WGC Ace was humanly laid to rest after a long battle with cancer. Ace was born in 1988 and was purchased from Gayle and Thomas Brandon in 1994 by the Bailey’s for their son Kyle. The little black pony with the heart of gold was shown for 16 straight years in the Lead Line division.

Ace was retired from the show ring after winning the 2011 World Grand Championship and enjoyed his remaining years on the farm of Kim and Beetle Bailey in Lynchburg, Tenn.
This little black pony made a mark in many children’s lives as well as many adults. He was loved by all and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
