My Horse "Betsy"

Forever South, "Betsy"

Betsy is a 11 year old thoroughbred mare registered with The Jockey Club under the name of Forever South. She was foaled at Darby Dan Farms in Lexington, Kentucky on February 5, 1990. Her sire was Capitol South and her dam is A Joy Forever. (click on the names of her parents to see her bloodlines)

She is a 15.2 hand bay with no markings. She is fun to jump and is a great mover, but can be a brat sometimes. However, she is still my baby! We show on the local circiut in Schooling Hunter, Mini Medal, and Open Equitation and on the "A" show circiut in Limit and Modified occassionally. We also fox hunt during the winter months.
