Winners Circle Farm
Breeder and lucky owner of dilute warmbloods
Winners Circle Farm is a small private barn producing just a few foals per year. Our goal is to breed rare golden warmbloods suitable in the disciplines of dressage, show-jumping and eventing. We specialize in starting the young horse with the correct foundation and strive hard to create a sound open-minded companion that is all-round in training. Trail and exposure to different facilities are also important aspects of the young horses training here with us. Strong emphasis is made
on teaching excellent ground manners and starting the young horses'
riding career with trust and mutual respect. Foals are being handled from the day they are born and attention to all the horses needs are carefully being meet, giving each individual the best possible start in life to develop to their full potential. Young horses are started when mentally and physically ready, and not just because they have reached a certain age.
We are located Southwest of Houston in Richmond, TX in a great equestrian community. Feel free to e-mail for questions about any of the horses or if you want to talk color genetics.

News From Winners Circle Farm 2012:
April 29: RPSI is opening up an extra inspection site in Houston. Please contact WCF or RPSI to register to get your foal, mare or stallion approved with a major warmblood registry.
April 22: Shevelle was bred yesterday and ovulated as planned. Fingers crossed for a little mini Shevelle growing right this minute. Ultrasound scheduled for May 8th

April 11: Tristan has guaranteed himself a lease as companion horse for "Sleepy" who lost his pasture mate so tragically. This means I get to keep my handsome boy around for at least one more year. Surely by then I have come to my senses and realize that Tristan is a keeper.
April 3: Solana went on a trip with mama for a pre-purchase exam. What is little superstar, loading like a champ, jumping around kicking and spinning when mama was flex tested. So to keep technician safe I put a robe on baby and although she has not been restrained like that before, she took it like the sweet girl she is.
Mar 29: Shevelle was inseminated. 2 weeks from now we will shall know if a buckskin baby is on it's way.
Feb 12: BELTONA' FOAL IS HERE!!!! And what a PERFECT beauty she is. See her under foals page.

News From Winners Circle Farm 2011:
Dec 19: 2011 is almost over and it has been an exciting year with a surprise pregnant mare and her successful birth of her black filly Sora, training of D'Artagnan, and some sold horses, amongst them the sweet, and talented D'Artagnan, whom I am looking forward to seeing some foals from. Next year is going to be very exciting and WCF are entering 2012 with some amazing mares, the first foal due end of February, inspections for Tristan, the mares and their foals, training, and hopefully achieving successful pregnancies. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
Dec 3: I had arranged for Tristan to move over to my mothers place just up the street. She has two geldings and I was envisioning the three of them playing in happy bliss. Well, one of the geldings decided that Tristan was not going to break up his duo, so after relentless chasing, biting and even forcing Tristan to jump a 4 foot fence (cleared it in style), we decided that he would have to come home again. I must say, I am really happy he is back :-)
Nov 13: Shevelle and Moksha started their long trip from Colorado Friday night. Today Sunday, they arrived safe and sound. Two fantastic mares that I am VERY lucky to have for the next two years. Thank you so much Stephanie!
Nov 9: Sorpresa started her long journey to Mexico at 6am this morning. Fingers crossed for a safe arrival.
Nov 8: Two new very exciting mares will be joining WCF at the end of the week. Both are here on a training/breeding lease from Golden Edge Sports horses.
Oct 27: Met "my" new mare under "mares" page.
Oct 24: D'Artagnan has been sold. My handsome "pale man" has found a new home with Tracie. She feel in love with his quiet demeanor and comfortable movement. I am sad to see him go, but excited as this opens up a door for new equine adventures for me. The process of finding a new golden can now really begin. Tracie, best of luck to you and D'Artagnan and your new life together. I know he will be spoiled and pampered.
Sep19: Zimba left this morning on his journey to Florida where Brittanie awaits his arrival. The sweet boy just stepped right up the ramp on the huge rig that came to pick him up, despite 6am darkness and crazy thunder and lightening. Fingers crossed for a safe arrival.
Sep 7: Zimba has been sold. Congratulations to Brittanie in FL. Zimba is leaving around the 17th to his new home with his excited new owner. He will get a fantastic loving home and a future as an eventing superstar.
Sep 3: Exiting days here at WCF. The sales horses has had a lot of traffic. One step further for me to add another stunning brood mare to the farm to join my lovely Beltona.
Aug 18: Welcome to our two new golden boys; Tristan and Zimba. Both are draft crosses and both are for sale. Check them out on "sales" page
Aug 11: What an inspection!!!! Esperanza received MAIN MAREBOOK status with great remarks from the judges; Fantastic neck and fore-end, wonderful reach and great uphill trot and canter. Sorpresa receiced SILVER PREMIUM and got her RPSI brand. GREAT DAY!

Aug 7: D'Artagnan was a super star at today's show and scored two first places and HIGH POINT WINNER.
July 24: Sorpresa has been sold to the Flores family. She will have an exciting jumping career in the future. She will remain on Winners Circle Farm till January 2012, so we get to see her develop a little further :-)
June 25: These days the heat is battled by literally sitting on the horse at 6am, and yes, it's still dark then :-)
June 11: D'Artagnan is back in training after a nice 2 week vacation. He is super and picked up right where we left off.
May 18: Another successful show weekend for D'Artagnan. He is such a super star and is all business when out. He scored two 1st places and two 2nd places. Winners of both the classes where we were 2nd, was my home bred sweet Maximus with new owner Meagan. You guys make a fantastic team, congratulations!!
May 2: DNA has come back determining that Sorpresa is in fact homozygous black. Looking forward to seeing a little black beauty emerge from her baby bay fluffiness.
April 27: 6:40am Esperanza gave birth to a super cute filly (Sorpresa aka Sora). After some initial nursing difficulties Sora got it together and is doing great. Her color is still to be determined :-)
April 21: Beltona checked in foal at 30 days.
April 10: Successful day for D'Artagnan at today's show. He scored 72% on test 1 and 75.4% on test 2 and that got him a 1st and a 2nd place.
April 7: The great Beltona checked in foal. Great news! Crossing fingers that 30 day check also has good news.
April 6: Esperanza is bagging up and looking like she is ready for a baby. Much sooner than we all thought. Now the wait really begins although she hid her secret for most of her pregnancy. I did not plan for this foal, but I must say I am getting pretty darn excited.

March 15: Well well, surprise from my young mare Esperanza. It appears she was pregnant when I purchased her back in Nov 2010. I started noticing a suspiciously large belly on her and a kick in my face from a very little hoof confirmed to me what I had suspected for a week or so. A palpation has her estimated to be 7-8month pregnant.
March 11: D'Artagnan is off for phantom training and collection until mid March. Even now that he is no longer a virgin he remains a sweet gentleman. The boy has a brain :-)
He will get tested for freeze suitability and overall semen quality. Waller Equine is doing a fantastic job and the staff are all very helpful and knowledgeable.
