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 is also Licensed for the Westfalian Verband.

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 sustained a terrible leg and foot injury, which we thought would end his ridden career, after an accident whilst training in Germany prior to Performance testing. He has now made a full recovery. Garuda has been winning at Advanced level since the age of 7 years old with very impressive scores of over 70% he is training PSG & will soon be competing at this level. 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 & Michel Assouline.
