THE LARGEST IMPORTED GYPSY COB BREEDER IN AUSTRALIA TODAY
Introducing Watermark Gypsy Cobs, the largest migration/importation of horses into Australia since the 1960's. Gina Feakins emigrated from the UK in 2007 with her Watermark Gypsy Cob stud.
QUALITY IS NOT A COMPROMISE … !
Watermarks philosophy is quiet simple, purchasing for colour, or coat patterns is a mistake in any breeding program, first and foremost, correct conformation and sound temperaments is the foundation to any successful stud. Only correct conformation and correct animal husbandry will give you health and wellbeing and in turn give owners years of pleasure.

TUMBLEWEED - I truly believe was one of the most outstanding stallion in the world. An incredibly prolific sire in his time, and a bloodline I have chased for years. He stamped his foals with kindness, intelligence, and stamped them true. I was very fortunate to own one of his sons, Clononeen Double Tumble (a double line bred Tumbleweed) colt, who became one of my top producing stallions for Watermark. After securing his purchase, I then actively sought mares bred by Tumbleweed to bring to Australia. Each and every mare, has been an incredible producer. I am thrilled to have bred Watermark Double Tumble (named after his sire) who is a triple line bred stallion to TUMBLEWEED, who will continue this incredible stallions legacy.
RIP Tumbleweed - your legacy lives on.
Watermark Gypsy Cobs is very progressive and proactive stud who are constantly sourcing the very best breeding stock worldwide to add to the breeding program. The last importations x 8 in 2016 and 2017 bringing in another four stallions and four perfect fillies. Watermark Gypsy Cobs brings the all important abundance of hair, flair and style,

GYPSY COB GENETICS and what you need to know ...
As with virtually all animals and humans throughout the world, anomalies appear in genetic markers, the Gypsy Cobs have not escaped these anomalies and quite recently have been found to potentially carry Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy (PSSM1) and Foal Immunodeficiency Syndrome (FIS).
The Watermark herd have been tested and we are pleased to report FIS clear on all the breeding foundation.
Subsequently, all foals bred, will be clear FIS.
