Southern Leigh WF 1997 16.3 hand Chestnut Mare Leigh is an excellent mother and pasture sound. She has an old injury to her right front fetlock but requires no medication or shoeing at this time. Leigh's offspring inherit her inquisitive nature and elastic way of going. It is worth mentioning that she is one of the gems of the broodmare world in that she consistently outproduces herself - meaning her foals are of a higher quality than her outward appearance might suggest at first glance. She does require a bit of extra effort to get in foal and full medical records will be disclosed to interested parties. She has had 5 foals out of 5 breeding years.

Wallstreet Rose WF 1999, 15.3 hand Black mare Gretta joined the broodmare herd in 2004. She was bred in South Carolina and joined our herd after a family illness forced them to part with their beloved homebred mare. At her time of purchase, Gretta was schooling First Level and jumping small courses. Her grounded nature and good gaits made her a delightful acquisition for the breeding program. As one would expect with her illustrious Hanoverian bloodlines (Warkant, Eiger I, Perfeckt I, Grande) Gretta’s gaits are very scopey, cover the ground easily and she has a very free shoulder with good engagement of the hindquarters. Her jumping form is more than sufficient with plenty of power off the ground and tidy form over the fences. From time to time we have elected to breed Gretta and still have hopes of breeding her with our treasured Again and Again frozen semen in the future. In 2007, she produced an excellent colt by Waldaire in Wall Street WF. Like his dam, “Hansel” is very grounded, easy to work around and very talented. Her 2009 black colt by Waldaire did not survive delivery. We were heartbroken as he was a lovely fellow with long limbs, tasteful white markings and his dam's beautiful face. Gretta produced and outstanding filly by Waldaire in April 2010 and we have named her Windrose WF. Windrose received a score of 7.8 and a First Premium at her foal inspection. For her 2011 foal, we have chosen our junior stallion, Wizard WF as she has proven to cross so very well with his sire Waldaire and we have always dreamed of crossing her with Again and Again (Wizard's damsire). In late April 2011, Gretta delivered a gorgeous black filly Wendolyn WF by Wizard! Little "Lynnie" earned a Premier score of 8.0 at her foal inspection and Reserve Site Champion title! She is one of the best foals Gretta has produced to date and we're thrilled to bits! We have footage of Gretta from her time of purchase and will upload it to You Tube shortly.

Wallace WF 2005 Dark Bay Mare(Waldaire x Aly Alice by Aly North/Bold Lad) Pedigree 17 Hands Price Class C: $21,000-35,000 Lacy is a beautiful dark bay mare with a sweet nature and charming outlook on life. As she is a taller mare, we have not hurried her into an intense training program which would stress her frame unnecessarily. She is currently schooling 1st level and schooling small courses. Lacy is an enthusiastic jumper and enjoys going to new locations. At her first show (DAD 2008), she won ribbons in all her classes and was a delight to handle in the midst of all the excitement of the show. She would be well suited to an ambitious amateur or professional who would like an easy horse to bring up the levels. Her gallop stride is very balanced and she is a bold and careful jumper out cross country and in the show ring. At her foal inspection, she received a First Premium Award and was Reserve Site Champion. Lacy’s mother Aly Alice was a solid citizen here at Watermark Farm – she was used for lessons and would pack inexperienced riders without a fuss. She competed in dressage through 2nd level, won hunter and jumper championships and schooled through some Intermediate eventing obstacles with a green rider. Her half siblings include Artesian WF (1996), Amelia WF (2002), Adelaide WF (2004). Her full brother Willow LG (2007) is owned by the MacKnew Family and already enjoying success undersaddle in MD. Lacey can be sold with a breeding to a Watermark Farm stallion (not Waldaire or Wizard) or a dose of Weltmeyer or Dressage Royal semen. She is currently schooling 2nd Level and has her changes. Counter canter, lateral work...it is all there for the asking and we will continue to advance her training for as long as she is with us. She is a forward thinking mare that performs best with a rider who has a strong core and good balance.

As You Wish WF 2001 Dark Bay Mare Kitty is currently competing Training Level eventing and is a delight to both ride and observe. Her dressage foundation has been solidified here at Watermark Farm and she has enjoyed the tutelage of several local professional 4* eventers for cross country and stadium during her first few seasons of eventing. Her dressage scores are usually in the low 30s and it is highly unusual that she accumulates any penalties after than phase. To date she has several placings at BN, a handful of wins at N/ON and recently placed second at her Training Level debut. She competes in a french link snaffle for all three phases and has great potential for moving up the levels. Kitty has extensive cross country mileage in competition and schooling and is a joy to take out in the open. Kitty is now schooling 3rd Level dressage regularily and now we shift back towards increasing the complexity of the jumping exercises for both horse and rider. In the winter of 2011-12, Kitty went out several times with River Hills Foxhounds and has proven to be an excellent hunt horse - in a snaffle, no drugs, no fuss. We couldn't be more pleased! Her dam Volanté was a successful Preliminary eventer as well as a competitive Prix St. Georges mount. We also enjoyed many fine hunts on her as well. Kitty's maternal granddam was a very successful Intermediate horse and her grandsire was Volturno, an Olympic medalist who passed away far too soon. Her sire Adamant has produced several Preliminary and Intermediate event horses that were successfully campaigned by Young Riders, Professionals and Adult Amateurs during their careers. Kitty had one foal by Waldaire prior to beginning her undersaddle training in 2006. Wilona WF was a First Premium at her foal inspection and is very much like her mother – businesslike and very easy to work around with above average movement.

Wylie WF 2006 Chestnut Mare Wylie is a sweet filly well suited to an Adult Amateur rider with goals that might include the hunter or dressage arenas. She enjoys having time one on one with a person and is a calm, obedient young mare. Her adult coat has come through as a very dark chestnut which is complimented nicely by her lighter mane, distinctive star & stripe and a single low hind sock. Her gaits are pleasing to the eye and she has good engagement from the hindquarters. Wylie has returned home from being started and is a pure delight to ride each and every day. Her gaits are well balanced and she is a very intelligent and relaxed riding horse with good impulsion. She should mature to 15.3 hands. At Wylie’s foal inspection she was awarded a First Premium. Her dam Amelia WF is a full sister to Artesian, a successful Intermediare I competitor. Like many of the Again and Again offspring, both Amelia and her brother are equally talented over fences as well as for FEI dressage movements. Amelia’s other offspring include Wichita Rose WF (2008) and Aloysius WF (2009).

Wilona WF 2006 Black Mare Lona is a true black daughter of Waldaire out of current Eventing mare As You Wish WF, who has recently moved up to Training Level in her first year of competition. Lona has inherited many of the qualities of both sire and dam – her even temper, steady rhythm and good conformation. She is a very inquisitive youngster and would always like to be the first one to be caught and fussed over. Wilona has earned high praise from our experienced young horse starter for her grounded nature and pleasant movement. She is a very sensible young horse with a calm outlook on the world around her. Wilona enjoys going cross country and is a pleasure to work with on a daily basis with no vices. Wilona participated in our February jumping clinic with Ryan Wood. She continues to impress us with her steady nature, exceptionally good movement and willingness to work. Over fences she is a brave and careful jumper - happy to jump whatever material is in front of her with no fuss. Lona aims to please her rider and is quite an enjoyable horse to ride each day. Her flat work is solidly confirmed First Level with daily advancements towards Second. Lona is an ideal horse for an aspiring amateur rider with a trainer who has some mileage in bringing along a youngster. At her foal inspection, Wilona received a First Premium. Her dam As You Wish WF is enjoying great success out in the eventing world and consistently finishes with only her dressage score. Her maternal granddam Volanté also thrived in the eventing realm of competition, diligently packing both Emily & Ellie around at the Preliminary level with good results. Emily also competed her through PSG in dressage. Adamant was the family go-to mount for foxhunting with a very successful dressage career through Intermediare I much like his sire, the imported Hanoverian Abundance.

Wichita Rose WF 2007 Chestnut Filly From the tips of her loppy ears to the bottoms of her feet, Rosie is one special filly! Her movement is exceptional while her outgoing personality is a source of never ending entertainment. She is a bit of a busy body and always carefully observing from the sidelines – never too far away to miss something, yet not too close as to be directly involved in the mischief.
1 Day As with our other foals, Rosie was bred with the specific plan of breeding another Grand Prix competitor. With her obvious engagement of the hindquarters and powerful gaits, the future is very bright for this big filly!

Dream Girl WF 2007 Chestnut Filly Daisy is a lovely chestnut sabino filly with a flaxen mane and tail, eye catching blaze, 2 socks and a hind stocking. For those of you who remember Able Spirit, this filly is an exact replica of her granddam. At her foal inspection, Daisy received a First Premium. Her dam had a successful in hand career and immediately joined our broodmare herd as a four year old. Her dam was extremely successful throughout her entire career and continues to produce excellent foals. Her full brother Showtime WF has gone on to have a successful show record in the A Hunters in the mid-Atlantic region for his new owner. Savannah’s other offspring include Wyatt WF (2004), Windsor WF(2006), Don William WF (2007), and Dolce Elise WF (2009). Daisy is for sale with special consideration given to a show home as she is one of the unique horses that possesses the “It” factor in spades. The bigger the audience, the more she shows off.
