About Winsome, etc.

Winsome, etc. started in 1983 with the purchase of "just one" mini. Having been in BIG horses since I was six, having a mini satisfied my need to smell, brush, and love a four-legged thing that whinnied. Of course, I was hooked and after she won Champion Mare in her first show (I believe there were 12 total horses) I just had to breed her.

My goal when I first started breeding is the same as today: Winsome, etc. will become one of the top breeders of national contenders, while not exceeding 8 permanent horses. I am very proud of my progress toward this goal.

I own 6 mature mares, each chosen for overall type, balance, correctness and pedigree. I believe a broodmare must be not only an outstanding individual, but must also have something special to offer.  I treasure each one of my mares for the strengths they produce for me.

The mare’s have been complimented by the outstanding stallions I’ve enjoyed owning. Prior to 2000 most of my foals were by Sierra Dawn Unos Monarch, purchased from Winsome by Scott Creek Miniature Horses in 2001.  I retained Winsome Monarch Sock It To Em until he was sold to New Zealand in 2005.

Now my chosen stallion is Winsome Monarchs Best Foot Forward (See Stallions). And what a great decision to grow him out as my herd sire! I'm very proud of the type and quality of Devon's foals.  His first 2008 colt has already become a multi-supreme colt, and his 2009 foals are absolutely everything I could wish for.
