W Family Broodmares

If we ever had a mare that was exactly like her mother, it would be Winks. She may be a bit smaller than Brown Sugar, but she has the same huge heart and was one of the easiest and softest mares to play. Always a favourite around the yards, she was also a favourite of everyone’s to play, including Rebecca. If only every horse was this easy; she probably could’ve been played in a halter! She wasn’t the fastest on the field, but you could move her, turn her and stop her with barely any ask…..she always felt what you were thinking and you could feel her move before you had even made the decision yourself.

Winks won Champion Club Pony at North Star in 2003 under Robert. She also won Champion Club Pony at Tamarang in 2006 when Rebecca played her, plus they won the B Grade final at North Star that same year. Two of her major career highlights were when Robert played with Jaime and Jock MacKay for Wirragulla to win the A Grade final at Scone in 2005 and again under Robert in the Quirindi team to win the Northern Challenge Cup at Quirindi 2010.

Winks has proven to follow her mother’s difficulty to get in foal. Progeny pending…….
