We heard about 'Garuda K' through some very good Swiss friends of ours who had seen him near Aachen, they were convinced we would love him although he was not for sale! He was owned by Hans and Martina who breed mainly Westphalian horses, they had him as a Stallion prospect. I fell in love with him straight away, after a lot of negotiating, vettings X-rays (class 1) we finally had him!
Garuda K has the most amazing temperament and attitude towards work, he was graded in November 2003 with the British Warmblood Society becoming Reserve Champion Stallion.
Garuda K was backed in the spring of 2004, after only being under saddle for two weeks he showed off his wonderful elastic paces and exceptional potential, at the Supporters Of British Breeding seminar, with guest speakers Gerd Heuchmann and Suzanne Miesner, Garuda K had never been ridden with another horse and the horse cantering around as Garuda K entered the arena was a mare in season, he took it all in his stride.
Garuda K sustained a terrible leg and foot injury, which we thought would end his ridden career, after an accident whilst training in Germany, he has now made a full recovery and is back in Dressage training. He is currently winning at Medium level with very impressive scores of over 70% he has just started competing Advanced Medium & is working at PSG. Woodcroft Garuda K is currently a BWBS group 2 Stallion and is expected to move to group 1 this year. He Qualified for the National & International 4 & 5 Year Old Classes with his Rider Malcolm Holtshausen. Woodroft Garuda K & Malcolm are currently training with Conrad Schumacher.
Consession's are available to Select studbook and premium mares. Woodcroft Garuda k's foals have all been outstanding. He produced Champion Part Bred Foal in 2006, out of an Apoloosa mare. All of his foals have inherited his type, wonderful temperament and outstanding movement.
