Ivy Conrado-Saebens

5'3, 118. Married to Billie Jack Saebens... Father, Kelly; mother, Cody; sister, Paige...When Ivy was still a young girl, she was at the futurity in Fort Smith, Ark., with her family and got into a wreck while riding one of the young horses there. The accident kept her from the saddle for awhile. Enter Little Fancy Granny, also known as Racie. Just about four when the Conrados got her, Racie became Conrado’s therapy with the then nine year old girl spending hours in the saddle on the mare. Racie loved running barrels and soon took nearly every member of the family to the winner’s circle. Ivy won the Wrangler Junior High School State Finals twice on Racie. In her last win at the Junior High Finals, Racie was actually bred to the Dash Ta Fame son Eddie Stinson. The embryo that was flushed out following the win was Tibbie. Because Ivy was also busy competing in volleyball including Junior Olympics, she never went to the High School Finals with Racie and took a break from riding through her high school years. Meanwhile, Conrado’s dad, Kelly, put Racie’s filly into training, winning big during her four year old futurity season...According to Ivy, Tibbie is a prima donna but then also dirty tough. She loves treats and kisses. Life is pretty serious when you put a saddle on her...Favorite color is dark purple despite her lucky blue shirt she wore to win Ft. Worth and the RNCFR that was given to her by Jimmie Munroe, who wore the same shirt when she competed in the NFR. Favorite road snack is kettle chips and would like Jennifer Lawrence or Emma Watson to play her in a movie about her life as they are two of her favorites.
