I don't have a Pathways membership, but since she was foaled and owned in Amish country, I'd say ot was a fair bet that she never raced. It is kind of curious that they would get rid of such a young mare...I will put some feelers out and see if I can find out anything about the mare.

QUESTION: i used to help a guy shoe horses and we ran across her..she costed a pretty penny that is why thaey sold her...but i beleave she has raced but i dont realy no so any help would be appricate it
AnswerBrandon,
Her dam has never had a foal sell at public auction as a yearling. (Unless it was a very small sale, like Delaware.) With her breeding, even if her conformation was perfect in every way, she wouldn't have brought much. You said "she costed a pretty penny that is why thaey sold her." I suspect the new owners didn't realize what the expenses would be and they sold her when they couldn't keep up.
I would try contacting her breeder and see if he can give you any information. (Don't forget her former name was Western Betty.) Here is his contact information:
