Personality: The most kindest mare you will ever meet, she is indeed drop dead gorgeous then when she looks at you with those large black eyes, your heart melts. However, she isn't a mare that's going to give up on winning, so she isn't passivr and neither agressive, but rather kind to humans, and a bitch to other horses. She is classified as the lead mare of the herd, she will put any horse inline as quick as they step into the pen, wether it's a stallion or not. Peytona will be kind to a stallion, once she had shown him that she is boss, and most of this is done through a mental state, but it may come to a physical battle every now and then. Also, once she is accustomed to someone she will never be able to be pulled apart from that person, she tends to have one friend or owner, and when she is pulled away she will never be able to re-coop from that.



Conformation: Peytona is a big mare at maturity, 16 hands and 3/4 inches tall, and a rich dark chestnut color, with a deep girth and powerful hocks, and a twenty seven foot stride. Initially called Glumdalclitch, after the giantess in Gulliver's Travels, her name was changed when she ran in and won the Peyton Stake at age 3, for which she was nominated, as yet unborn, in 1838. It was a four mile produce stake (the type of race now called a futurity) to be run at Nashville in the fall of 1843. The subscription fee for nomination was $5,000, and even though only thirty were nominated, and of those, some $1,000 forfeit fees were never paid, the race, when held, was the richest ever, in the world, with a value of $35,000. Four heats were run, and Peytona decisively won the last two, over the imported Herald and two others.



The Background: Peytona was bred by James Jackson at Forks of Cypress, Alabama, and foaled in 1839, shortly before his death. She was, perhaps, the ultimate reflection of his breeding success, as she was by Glencoe, imported by Jackson and standing at Forks of Cypress, and out of Giantess, by Jackson's first significant import, Leviathan. Her second dam, a mare by Sir Archy, descended from that most significant of early imported mares, Selima (Family 21). She was sold at the age of three, soon after her first race win, as of the death of James Jackson. Her winnings were prominant, therefore many knew about her, however she was stolen by a Shipping yard owner, and was quickly imported to a man by the name of Raj. The say that she is the best dirt horse ever to hit the face of earth, but where her true heart will come in, will be the long races out on the desert, to proove her running abilty.
