Dottie is our first Winston. She is shown above in a 4" foot and is barefoot behind. When the picture
was taken, Dottie had just completed her first class ever. Over the next three days, she was shown in all available classic
pleasure driving classes (both junior and open) and two in hand classes. Dottie was Reserve Junior Champion Mare and placed
first in the Classic Suitability class. Although only a two year old, she stood up to the pressure of being in multiple classes
in multiple days in a strange environment.
What makes this more remarkable is that Dottie never left
the farm for training and was not worked with other horses. With only 30 days of drive time, Dottie was suprisingly confident
and steady in the ring for a horse never exposed to this type of surroundings. She stood quietly and did not need to
be held to remain in the lineup. She was the youngest one in the ring but she was the best behaved. She was not hooked
to the cart in the warm up ring but rather was hooked outside the stall and then driven about 1/4 mile to the arena. She went
down the long covered ramp into the noisy arena without assistance and stayed on the rail. This show proved that Dottie was
trained the right way.
Dottie is a typical Winston: highly intelligent, easily trained, and looks forward
to training each day. She has a naturally high tail carriage, fantastic hocks, and already stands 15.1h. with a 4"
foot. Her pedigree combines the best of the West and the East: Red Vermont, Micky Finn, Jubilee King, Waers Playboy and Fleetwing,
Trophy, UVM Flash, and Black River Dandy. With this combination, Dottie will be a great broodmare long after her show career
has ended.

Not yet three, Dottie is rapidly following in the footsteps of her sister Carasu. Her extended trot is just
one gait that Dottie does with ease and precision. Her canter is soft and cadenced. Her trot is flowing and balanced. Dottie
is priced at $10,000. One years full mortality and medical insurance is included. Payments with 50% down considered. Now is
the time to purchase this exceptionally trained 15.1h mare as the price will go up after Southern States in May. Inquire
