I had a wonderful experience purchasing a gorgeous, high-quality weanling from Kate at Black Watch Stables. She was incredibly easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about breeding top dressage prospects. Kate was professional, communicative, and helpful every step of the way, which made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Her facility is absolutely beautiful and impeccably well-kept. I highly recommend Black Watch Stables to anyone looking for a quality dressage horse and a great buying experience.

I couldn’t be happier with the beautiful weanling I purchased from Black Watch Stables—extremely well handled, wonderfully mannered, and clearly raised with so much care and consistency.  Kate was so easy to work with and the quality of her breeding program really shines through in the filly I purchased.   

The attention to detail from matching bloodlines for both temperament and performance, clear preparation for life after weaning, and spending time creating beautiful matches between owners and training programs makes working with BWS an absolute joy!

Sazerac BWS is an exceptional horse. His near-perfect confirmation, his brain and his correct movement exceeds my greatest expectations. However, what stands out the most to me (especially because he is a young stallion) is his brain. I call him my “summer camp” horse because he is brave and always game. He is an immensely logical thinker, so when something scares him, he decides to approach it and figure out why it scared him in the first place. Nothing can go without saying how well Kate and the rest of the team at BWS prepared him for the future. He arrived at the farm as a weanling that already knew how to lead, groom and have his hooves picked out. I am so thrilled that I can call him mine and can’t wait to canter down centerline one day!

Kate is an exceptional horsewoman with an innate talent for breeding. She approaches each pairing with great care and intention, consistently striving to produce well-rounded athletes who are balanced both mentally and physically, and capable of excelling across disciplines.
Over the past year, I have had the privilege of training several of her mares and young horses, and I can confidently attest to their kindness, trainability, and natural athleticism. Each horse reflects the thoughtful consideration behind Kate’s program.
It is truly a pleasure to work with the horses at BWS, and equally rewarding to collaborate with Kate. She is professional, knowledgeable, and unwavering in her commitment to placing the well-being of her horses above all else.
