WELCOME
This breeding season Woodlands Stud have many things to celebrate, including 2022 bringing up 30 years in business. That’s 30 years dedicated to further enhancing the standardbred breed in Australasia. Bringing world class sires to stand in the Southern Hemisphere has always been our main priority, dating back to the founding stallions such as In The Pocket, to older stallions like Bettor’s Delight and American Ideal and through to our more recent up and coming sires.
Every stallion is chosen carefully to ensure they will work well with mares from the Southern Hemisphere and that they are sires that will further enhance our bloodlines in Australasia. Bettor’s Delight, American Ideal, Sweet Lou, Downbytheseaside, What The Hill, Lather Up and Speeding Spur represent this vision.
We also want to celebrate all of you, our breeders. Without you we would not have made it this far. Your support of Woodlands Stud and our sires has enabled us to become one of the leading standardbred stud farms in the world. In an ever changing industry it is you that is holding our industry up, without you breeding horses we wouldn’t have horses to race. We are maintaining our commitment to you by giving you access to fresh, chilled semen for all seven of our stallions across Australasia. We also strive to support the harness racing industry, both on and off the track. From breeding from 120 of our own mares and having around 20 of our own horses in work across the country through to sponsoring clubs, races, drivers and Kidz Kartz. We are proud to play our part in ensuring that the New Zealand Harness Racing industry continues to stand tall on the international stage. We thank you for being on this journey with us and for taking the time to learn about our superb stallion roster for the upcoming season. We hope that in time your 2022-23 mating can join the illustrious list of talented horses sired by Woodlands Stud stallions. Your success is our success.

HE IS IN HIS FINAL SEASONS BEFORE RETIREMENT, SO DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO BREED TO HIM BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. “He’s certainly the greatest sire I’ve seen. Vance Hanover was a great sire when I was young, then Christian Cullen came along, but this horse has just taken them to another level.”
