Welcome to Winsome Stables!

Winsome Stables

From the time I can remember, I've always had a passion for horses. At the age of 21, I purchased my first trail horse. Two years later I reluctantly sold him to concentrate on being a full-time mother to my little girl.

It wasn't until years later, my daughter grown, that I had the opportunity to once again own another horse.

On April 1, 1988 I bought my first Arabian horse.  By 1991 I had 20 horses and a 25,000 square foot stable, complete with indoor riding arena and living quarters.

I proudly watched and cheered as my horses won ribbons, trophies, and championships at the hands of the trainers.  But it wasn't until 1997 I finally decided that I just had to enter the show ring myself.

With the aid of Winsome's own professional trainer, I entered my first show ring with my Arabian, Huckson.  For two years, he and I showed Country Pleasure AAOTR and Country Pleasure AAOTD at Region XV and Region XVI,  holding our own against well-seasoned champions.  We enjoyed our time together and learned a lot along the way.

And finally in 1999, with Serveja Bey, I was soon experiencing the thrill of showing and winning at the US Nationals!

Now, I turn to the next chapter.  In 2000, with the guidance and expertise of Gene LaCroix, I entered the world of the "Dutch Harness Horses".  We are now breeding and selling these amazing, strong, athletic horses.

We, at Winsome, recognize the immense value in cross-breeding the Dutch Harness  with the Arabian.  We have the potential to produce a new breed of horse that possesses the strength and power of the Dutch Harness Horse and the beauty and elegance of the Arabian Horse.

Our state-of-the-art facilities, extensive knowledge, and vast resources enable us to bring the best of both breeds together.  We pride ourselves on diligently adhering to the high breeding standards established by both the Renai and Arabian Registry.

We also believe that creating a loving, friendly environment promises a horse with good disposition and pleasant personality.  Our horses are quick to whinny their hello as you enter the barn, knowing they'll receive a gentle pat or the special treat you've brought in your pocket.  

Whether you are looking for your child's first horse or a show ring champion, our goal is to provide you an easy choice to make.  View our Sales List.  Check out our Mares and New Arrivals.  You will find we are fast becoming unparalleled in our approach to breeding and raising these magnificent animals.
