Purchased in 2000, Majestic View Farms Intl. is owned by Bob and Bonnie Roth. Once home to Peruvian Pasos, and later Standardbreds, the Roth’s ultimate dream was making their farm home to Thoroughbreds. That dream became a reality upon hiring farm manager, Jaime Martin in 2016. Since then, they have immersed themselves in the Thoroughbred industry, with the strategy of making prudent purchases instead of rushing in with a huge investment. Over the years, the Roth’s have added a stallion barn and laboratory, renovated all the existing barns, and have continually added available land that abuts their original purchase to protect and enlarge Majestic View Farms.
With the Roth’s main residence overlooking the farm, their dedication and love for the horses and horse racing industry is evident in their daily presence and involvement. Bob is vice-president of a large cosmetic company, and he handles the financial end of the farm, while Bonnie, who has retired from a successful career in banking, handles all the paperwork. The day to day operations of the farm are left to farm manager Jaime and assistant manager Beth. The Roth’s describe this partnership perfectly, “We’re like a family. We’re very close to both of them, and it all works.”

Beth Sickler
Assistant Farm Manager
In 2014, Beth graduated from Chris McCarron's North American Racing Academy with an A.S. in Equine Studies. While attending the academy, she learned how to exercise racehorses, worked at both the Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland sales, and the Hall of Champions at the Kentucky Horse Park. Following a starting gate accident, her focus shifted from becoming a jockey to working on the farms. Upon graduation, she returned home to New York and started working at Dutchess Views Farm. For two years, she worked in the office learning the business side of breeding farms and worked alongside the then farm manager, Jaime Martin. He taught her everything from vaccines and medications, working with the foals, reproduction, sales prep, foaling and breeding and handling stallions like Bellamy Road and Big Brown. In February 2016, she joined Majestic View Farms Intl and does everything from the barn to the office. In 2024, she will be graduating from Midway University with a Bachelor's in Equine Business and Sales.
