Horses entrusted to us enjoy the advantages of science, pristine environment, a tradition of horsemanship, individualized care and value. Our results confirm the importance of this individualized care, with healthy, content mares that experience high pregnancy rates and vigorous foals.
The ForeverSpring Farm weanlings and yearlings, prepped for sales, carry optimal weight. Daily handling prepares them for the ring or to begin their careers with trainers. ForeverSpring Farm also has the ability to rehabilitate and successfully return many lay-ups to the track.
Our team claims over a century of horsemanship experience. We commit to and follow the goal-based protocol we establish for each horse. Our success with horses of various ages and stages in their racing careers stems from our focus on science, nutrition...and a passion for thoroughbreds.

We ensure performance through nutrition. I believe in expert, individualized care and I believe the best equine athletes begin with a great bloodline and excel through superior nutrition. At ForeverSpring Farm, we build winners from the inside out.
JamieMcCarthy
Farm Manager
Jamie McCarthy joined our team as Farm Manager in January of 2023. A native of England, Jamie began his career in the thoroughbred business by spending four years at the Royal Veterinary College in London and later gained a diploma in stud practice and management from the National Stud in Newmarket, England. Following the completion of his formal education Jamie has gained experience working with sales prep yearlings, mares, foaling and stallion management in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England and Germany before finding his way to Lexington Kentucky. From 2015-2016 Jamie worked at Indian Creek focusing on yearly sales prep in the summer months and managing mares and foals during the breeding season. Most recently Jamie was a part of the Coolmore/Ashford team, serving one year at Coolmore Ireland and then the last four years at Ashford stud farm in Lexington, Kentucky. Jamie’s diverse hands-on experience makes him a tremendous asset to our customers ensuring that their sales prep horses look their best when they hit the ring and that their mares, foals and weanlings receive the top notch care they can expect when boarding at ForeverSpring Farm.
I believe we have the winning formula in Dr Williams' knowledge of Equine nutrition and passion for pasture management, combined with our intimate daily hands-on approach to raising an all-round healthy and content horse, that will give you the best chance for success in the sales ring and beyond.
