Nics Whizard 

2022 AQHA Sorrel Gelding 

(Nic It In The Bud x Betty Whizadore)


Pedigree
Height: 14 HH

Nics Whizard, or Ron around the barn, is the sweetest gelding you'll ever meet. He is a striking red color, has an in your pocket personality, and shows true potential for the show ring. His athletic build and willingness to learn could take you anywhere but his floating lope and big stop could have you in the money. He could take you to your next derby, hit the trails, or be the first in the trailer for the next branding. Either way, Ron is a winner!
