"Winnie" is a 16.2hh. 1995 Dutch Warmblood mare, out of Talk of Gold by Wanroij. She was 2nd in the "Top Ten" NA/WPN keuring as an XFB foal and is a full sister to champion "A" show hunter "Money Talks", aka "Talkative" ridden by Tommy Serio.  She is the dam of Rhumba, Tango, Ulysses, Zenda, Apollo, and Bosanova, and grand-dam of Versailles, Zeta, and Bolero.

At her 2002 NA/WPN keuring, Winnie was awarded the coveted Keur Predicate, after displaying her rideability in a successful IBOP and presenting not one, but three, 1st Premium offspring! Winnie's talent for jumping was noted by the jury. She received high marks for her carefulness, technique, and scope, scoring 8's for technique and jumping talent, and an 8.5 for scope. The jury commented that she was an easy horse to ride with a good attitude.

Winnie was 9th in the"Top Ten" list for the 2002 NA/WPN keuring tour for her free jumping. She placed an impressive 5th place in the "Top Ten" for her IBOP, competing against many "imports"!

At her very first show, a hunter primary, Winnie was champion of the 3'6" division.

As of the 2004 NA/WPN keuring in Vermont, Never Say Never completed the requirements for her "Preferent" predicate. Ulysses, by Ferro, and Tango, by Idocus, were the second and third of the required 3 Ster quality offspring to be presented at their studbook inspections. Rhumba, Ster, also by Idocus, was presented in 2002. Winnie made this feat seem easy, considering she produced three consecutive Ster predicate offspring, from 2 sires. Not only this, but her first grandchild, Versailles (Orame x Idocus, ster) was also awarded her First Premium as a foal.

Winnie's 2005 colt by the Oldenburg stallion, Rosario (Rubinstein x Cantos), named Apollo NS is now a gelding. "Spectacular!" is the only description for this guy for both movement and type. Winnie did not disappoint us with her 2006 filly, Bosanova, by Ferro. This filly is very much like her full brother Ulysses. For 2007, we have gone in a slightly different breeding direction to produce a jumper. The sire of this 2007 foal is Balou du Rouet!

A special thanks to Karin and Carlos Jimenez, of Sporting Chance Farm, for selling us such a great mare!!
