SD Woman Sells Arabian Horse Business After 40-plus Years

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — After raising more than 250 foals and overcoming significant obstacles, an Aberdeen businesswoman is looking back fondly on her 43-year career with Arabian horses.

The American News reports Marg Forseth this spring sold El Jo Mar Arabians, the business she started on 50 acres of land back in 1973.

Forseth grew up riding horses on her grandparents’ farm. But after enrolling at the University of South Dakota she put her hobby on the back burner for many years.

Forseth wanted her daughter to grow up around horses, and she eventually was able to convince her husband to let her buy two Arabian horses, one for her and one for her daughter.

Her rejuvenated love of horses later inspired her to start her own business.
