Smart Strike x Carmandia by Wild Rush
in foal to ARMY MULE (due early April '20)
By leading sire SMART STRIKE who has had great success as a broodmare sire as well, siring the dams of more than a hundred black-type winners to date including 7 champions. This lovely young mare is out of the multiple G2-winner CARMANDIA who then became a successful producer. This mare's oldest foal is a New York-bred who just turned three and is one to watch. And in the current market you can't go wrong with a first-year Kentucky sire, especially one as HOT HOT HOT as the undefeated G1-winner ARMY MULE (114 Beyer!)! Grab her quick for just $8k, all fees paid.

Ghostzapper x Takeabreak by A.P. Indy
in foal to DOMINUS (due February '20)
You can't go wrong with GHOSTZAPPER, and this multiple race-winning mare who is out of a FULL SISTER to the incredible race mare (and even better producer) LU RAVI. And watch out: this mare's just-turned three-year-old colt by DANZA is now working from the gate at Turfway and prepping for his first start! You can't put a price on this kind of female family! Carrying an early '20 foal by DOMINUS, who was a G2 winner on both dirt and turf, was named a TDN Value Sire of 2018, and #1 Second-Crop APEX Sire of 2017. An absolute steal at $3.5k, all fees paid.

Don't wait - check out our Mares for Sale page, and check back often because we've got new ones becoming available all the time! Talk about STEALS & DEALS - do not miss your chance to get a great deal on a broodmare IN FOAL and ready to go for 2020, to some of the hottest sires!!!
These special programs allow our clients even more affordable, low-risk options for investing in quality Thoroughbreds. Instead of spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a chance buying a broodmare at the sales, our affordable lease and board-to-own plans allow for a low initial investment for a high quality broodmare, plus a guarantee that she will get or be in foal, enjoy low board rates, excellent care, and a guaranteed result.
OPTION #1 - LEASE OPTION: We offer high-end broodmares by some of the hottest sires in the industry in our wildly-popular lease program. All mares come with a pregnancy guarantee: if they don't get in foal, you can cancel your lease contract or switch to another available broodmare. And use of the mare is FREE - yes, we said FREE. There are no hidden lease fees for use of our mares! Simply pay the stud fee for the stallion of your choice (or put that extra stallion season to good use), then pay the monthly board bill and vet and farrier bills for the mare. Leased mares must boarded at Watershed for the duration of pregnancy, foaling, and until weaning, when the lucky owner may take possession of their weanling and will have the option to continue to board with us at the same low rate, or take it to the sales and cash in! This is an excellent opportunity for someone to get started in the thoroughbred business without the long term commitment, expense, and risk of owning a mare. Feel free to contact us to find out more - we have a waiting list every year!
OPTION #2 - BOARD-TO-OWN: Periodically we offer special broodmares IN FOAL and list them as FREE. Um, what? Yes, you read that correctly: FREE, for actual ownership of both the mare and her PAID IN FULL PREGNANCY. What's the catch, you say? Simple. You pay board and expenses (vet & farrier) at Watershed for the mare and her in-utero foal until the resulting 2020 foal is six (6) months old, at which time you can continue to board them with us, or feel free to move them to another farm. You will own the mare AND the pregnancy she is carrying. Again, the stud fee on the stallion is paid IN FULL. It's that simple! These mares go FAST, so why not try it?
