Even as a little girl, Beverly had a fascination for horses. She grew up admiring her older sister who had a horse, riding lessons and showing. Beverly was her "groom" and would brush, walk, wash anything to be near her sisters' horse.

Beverly moved to Utah to attend college and purchased a beautiful Arabian filly named Uinta. They would learn from each other. Uinta was eventually Beverly's champion mount for Ride and Tie races. This event involves 2 runners and one horse in a and exchange riding over a designated course. The team was unbeatable for ten years of competition and won the Levi National Championship women's division in 1984. In order to keep her Ride and Tie horse in shape, Beverly would enter a few Endurance rides a year. Then a few more and finally only endurance riding.

Her endurance race career spans 2 decades. Her list of accomplishments is extensive including her selection with Regalidon (aka Paladin) to the United States Equestrian Endurance Team.
