Mares
The Heart of Our Program
Our Approach
Our mares are the heart of our breeding program and the foundation upon which every future generation is built. Each mare is selected for temperament, correct conformation, and traditional cob type, with equal emphasis placed on the qualities that cannot be measured on paper—kindness, intelligence, and a willing disposition.
Together, they shape the character of our program and contribute to our goal of producing sound, versatile Gypsy Cobs with exceptional minds and enduring breed quality.
SD Magnificent Maria
Maria
Over the years, we have been fortunate to own and work with many wonderful mares, but Maria is truly one of a kind.

With exceptional bone, abundant feather, correct conformation, and a kind, willing temperament, she is the complete package. Maria possesses the rare combination of beauty, substance, and character that is increasingly difficult to find, and we consider her a once-in-a-lifetime mare whose influence will be felt in our program for generations to come.
