Her passion was competitive horseback riding. Pony was one of her first words. She attended horse shows with her grandparents at age 2. As a teenager, she was the Zone 8 Southwest Regional Junior Hunter Champion. Nikki was also a competitive horse rider in the Reno/Tahoe community. She first found her horse home with Foxwood Farms, riding their prized Irish Warm Bloods. In 2005, Nikki purchased Coronea Ailis Ridsh. She rode her dam Devana, aka Chocolate Kiss, and a gelding Cornea Son, aka Jeff, in regional hunter and equestrian classes.

She won numerous showing honors and yearly end of season awards including the Let's Show Ruby Mountain Classic Team Challenge. She was an active founding member of the Shadowood Farm Saddle Club while riding the Big Easy, aka Wally. She received many high ribbons.
Her other main interests were her various Rottweiler dogs, the numerous flowers in her lovely garden, and frequent travel to Mexico.
She is survived by her mother and father, Linda and Atmore Baggot of Mesa, Arizona; her brother Arlyn Baggot of Lincoln, California; her sister Laura Pheil of Santa Rosa, California; niece Claire Baggot; and nephews Thomas Baggot and Travis Pheil.
