Phoebe proudly represents her home state of Kentucky, The Horse Capital of the World, the Birthplace of Bluegrass, & home to the Country Music Highway, where she enjoys spending time with her 6 brothers and sisters on her 33 acre farm along with her miniature horses, donkey, cats, and lovable Labrador.
