Foster Road Ranch

This one is hard to list. The time has come to find our lovely Mega Watt Shine x Wild Haired Cat daughter, ‘Della’, her next home and partner.

This mare has been with us the last 5 years and has given us a gorgeous filly by Tin Man (his first). She was easy to breed, easy to foal and a natural momma. She would make a wonderful broodmare and all of her foals qualify AQHA/APHA. She stands 14hh, all the chrome and built like a tank with enough tail for two horses.

In addition, Della has been hauled since she was 2yo, had extensive handling and been well started. She is light, wants to please, rides off of your seat, athletic and catty with a busy mind and big motor. You can leave her off and she’s still the same horse. Zero buck. Model citizen on the ground. Friendly and easy to haul and handle. She is not a beginners horse but handy riders LOVE her. She has refinement at lower gaits and needs more work on refinement at speed.

We’ve had her with two trainers over the years and the second one was a day working roper who had glowing reviews when using her on cattle. Happy to provide that reference.

Della is sound, UTD on all medical and a model citizen on the ground.

I am finding her a new home because her bigger motor is not a good match for me personally. Again, that’s my experience….she has been well loved by many here at Foster Road and her trainer last Summer got along with her fabulously!! (Photos of her out working below).

She’s reasonably set at 10,### firm. I use a contract and have all records. Arrangements can be made on a limited basis as long as she is boarded here and remains on property until PIF.

I will do a full public sale ad in the coming 30 days. Her price will change accordingly. This is a no complications, reasonable offer before I spend the money and time to do more. She is worth what I have her at as a broodmare alone.

On 2/20/26, the horse world lost 75+ years of experience and horse wisdom when my dad, Roy Winemiller, moved on to wait for us in heaven.

In true Roy story telling fashion, I’ll tell you about him and why we are named Foster Road Ranch.

On Foster Road in Washington Illinois, my dad and his family raised and trained ponies and horses for decades as a part of their family farm. 80 acres dedicated to hogs, cattle, ranch ponies and more. Like many farmers, my Grandfather had a job (Caterpillar) and a farm business in anything that could make money and support his family. The children and some of the grandchildren carried this on for a good number of years.

You can imagine the stories and long line heritage that comes from a place like that. I know many of you can relate ❤️.

My dad found his way from the farm to two tours in Vietnam, a President of the company my grandfather founded, a chamber of commerce President and even a beauty pageant judge in Russia one time:). He was a voracious reader and never could understand the value to tv entertainment. Anyone who knew him, was cautious to debate him on farm, aircraft or gun topics 😉.

Dad came to stay with us 5 years ago as he needed to be close to the VA to fight colon cancer. He beat it 🙂. While he was here he soaked in pride over his two granddaughters love for riding and mine too. He proudly took pictures to share on his Facebook and stood by with an old horseman’s eye as he saw me navigate a large riding program over the weeks he was able to be there. He never got to see Foster Road as it is today but often gave me advice and enjoyed hours talking about it and the photos I’d send.

I remember lamenting over my little old tractor and my dad, not one for excuses, said ‘Your grandpa and I built this whole place with a 30hp tractor and a few implements. Poor people have poor people ways Molly. You’ll figure out how to do it with what you have.’ He was right…I’m still out here with my little old tractor figuring it out.

I saw this time as an opportunity to remember the horsemen in our lives who never won a ribbon. Who passed down real hands on knowledge built on a thousand horses through their hands. They made wonderful horses for the people they sold them to. Horses that were model citizens by the time they left. True horsemen.

I know the pride that comes from watching your children take on this love for the horse and this skill. I see it in my own. I hope we do him proud. He was one of the strongest, smartest men I’ve ever known. A giant of a man in many ways. He deserves to be remembered as the talented rider he was and how much he loved these animals. He is a huge reason I am here and Foster Road exists ❤️.

Scenes from Foster Road the last few days ❤️. We take prep and horse checks seriously and as we take photos for boarder and supporter updates, we often get many too good to not share on our main page. Enjoy the views and stay safe out there friends!
