WSH Broodmares

Our broodmares are a wonderful group of mares. We breed for amateur friendly temperaments with exceptional pedigrees and movement.  Our mares enjoy large paddock turn out and a leisurely life together, while receiving the best feed and care to ensure healthy mares and safe foal development.  All of our foals are handled daily from birth, receive their vaccinations and deworming, and are evaluated shortly after birth by a farrier who specializes in foal growth and development. We want our foals and young horses to be easy to handle by their new families, so we ensure constant handling, picking up feet, grooming, learning to tie and/or cross tie, trailer loading, and handling by vets/farriers. While still with their mothers we regularly stable them overnight, and after they're weaned we continue to stable them overnight until they are yearlings to ensure they are comfortable in stalls. We try and make the weaning process easier by having the mares and foals in paddocks beside each other, so they can see each other over the fence during weaning, and have found this reduces the stress and anxiety for all of them.  We have had many happy customers who have reported to us how easily their youngster has adapted to their new environment and routine.   

                                             Quater Twist WSH

Quater Twist WSH or "Q" as she's known around the farm, is a beautiful mare by Quaterhall (Quaterback/Donnerhall) out of Gold Digger (Glorioso Noir).  This mare was bred by Williams Sport Horses, and was retained for both breeding and competition purposes. We knew that Q was special as soon as she was born, and she has lived up to all our hopes.  She is a gorgeous 17h liver chestnut, with some very unique markings, including an interesting marking on her neck and 2 small belly spots, 4 tall socks and a twisted blaze.  As a 3 year old Q was started lightly and qualified and successfully competed at the prestigious Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.  She was then given a well deserved rest and given the winter off to continue growing and maturing.  As a 4 year old Q was presented to the Hanoverian Verband for inspection, and won the mare show and dressage phase of the performance test, earning top marks and her premium mare candidate.  She was then bred to the impressive stallion Secret and as a 5 year old delivered her first foal, and fulfilled her Premium Mare status.  Q was then bred back to Secret and an embryo transfer was performed so that she could start her career as a show horse.  As a 6 year Q was started in professional training and at her first dressage show with only a few months of training she scored a 76.3% and 73.4%, with 9s for her collective gaits and walk, and even a perfect 10 for some of her trot work. The recipient mare delivered an incredible foal by Secret who was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal Foal through the Hanoverian Verband, and Q will continue in her training and to produce foals by embryo transfer.  For 2022 Q has a foal coming by Benicio, with the recipient mare due May 2022.

Wruby's 2019 foal won his foal inspection in a large group of 24 dressage foals, and was awarded Gold Medal foal and the Albert Kley top 10 in Canada foal award!

Godiva WSH

Godiva WSH was the first horse bred by Williams Sport Horses. She is out of our retired mare Eclipse by Ehrentusch, and by Glorioso Noir.  Godiva has been ridden by Naomi Williams, an adult amateur rider throughout her life and has been competed successfully to 3rd level so far.  She has an incredible workmanlike attitude towards training, excellent rideability, and despite her size she has shown a great ability to collect for the upper level movements. Godiva is a big lady, 17.2 hh and big bodied, Hanoverian and approved for breeding by the Verband.  She has been sound her whole life with a good amount of bone, strong excellent feet and correct limbs. She is an "older style" mare which is why we chose to breed her for her first foal to Von und Zu, who boasts Vitalis and Flouriscount in his pedigree.  He is a smaller in stature horse and the F line is known for its refinement.  Vitalis is a very modern stallion as well, so we hope this combination will produce a more refined horse with a kick of blood.  Godiva's first foal is due June 2022, and will be available for sale only if it is a colt.   

Eclipse- retired

Eclipse is our foundation mare, and what an exceptional mare and producer she has been for us! She is a solid 16.3h liver chestnut mare by the German dressage stallion Ehrentusch/Amor and was imported from Germany as a young horse.  Eclipse was started as a dressage horse in Germany and unfortunately sustained an injury that prevented her from competing.  This mare passes on her calm and quiet personality along with a fantastic work ethic, her foals are all sweet natured and easy to work with. Eclipse's sire Ehrentusch won his performance test with top results in all categores, proving the marvelous versitillity of this line.   Eclipse has had four lovely foals for us, Godiva WSH, Goldwyn WSH, Devon WSH and Don Quixote WSH, all show great talent for the dressage ring and have lovely easy dispositions.  Eclipse is approved for breeding by the Hanoverian Verband.  Eclipse has been retired and will live her days with us.  She is such a good mother that she will take on other mares foals and just loves the babies.  She is an irreplaceable mare who could easily be used as a surrogate, and who we routinely use at weaning time to make the weanlings more comfortable during their difficult transition.  She has taken other mares foals to inspections and looked after them as if they were her own, guiding them, protecting them, and being a strong leader to them making them relaxed and at ease. Pictured below is Eclipse with another mares foal at a Hanoverian inspection, guiding her through the process with a quiet kindness:
