ABOUT US

WINNING COLOURS FARM is situated in the picturesque town of Rockley which is part of the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. We neighbour the historic 'Dunns Plains' property which is a 6000 acre sheep and cattle station owned by Fairfax Publications. 

As a boutique stud, our emphasis is always on quality not quantity.  It is our passion and aim to produce fast, highly competitive performance thoroughbreds and thoroughbred derivatives with the elusive frame overo gene. 

Breeding for colour is in synergy to the ultimate responsibility of breed improvement.  Temperament and performance must always take precedence over breeding for colour alone.   This philosophy is the basis of our breeding program and is reflected through our select stock. 

With this philosophy at the forefront, we were delighted at the opportunity to purchase the World class and performance bred coloured thoroughbred stallion, "PROFILE IN STYLE (USA)".  The FIRST EVER frame overo thoroughbred in Australia and in fact the Southern Hemisphere.   We eagerly await his first foal crop. 

Frame thoroughbreds, although rare, are not new.  Overo thoroughbreds were documented to have occurred as early as the 1700's.  Left is a picture of an oil painting made in 1790 of  racehorse "King Of Trumps" owned by King George III. It hangs in the Sudley Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. 

Then in 1993, the thoroughbred "Tri Chrome" was born and the World knew once again that FRAME Overo thoroughbreds can and DO exist. 

Now in the 21st Century, with selective breeding programs like WINNING COLOURS FARM, we believe you CAN have it all. That being - temperament, ability, type AND COLOUR!
