Stallions
Woodford Stud proudly present our family of stallions.
Maluso the beautiful dun bay stallion imported from Australia some 23 years ago has passed. He had seminoma (cancer) and we decided after having shared his life for the last five years it was time to say goodbye.
John and Susan Grindell had him as part of their family for nearly 17 years before we got the opportunity to start our own stud and use Maluso as our founding stallion. He immediately became a big part of the family and was a real gentlemen and character.
Maluso made a huge impact on our lives and enriched our experience with horses. He gave us some beautiful foals, two of his fillies we bred were exported to Australia last year, and he has one more foal due this coming January.
There is one standing stallion by Maluso in the USA. He also has purebred daughters and grand-daughters across the world.
He will be sadly missed but always remembered.
Director is our main stallion. He is a real sweetheart and my main riding horse. We bought him from Hanna Stud in Rangiora when we moved to the Wairarapa. He has so much character but is a real gentleman with the ladies.

Amaretto was born on Monday the 7th Of November 2016. The second colt born on Woodford Stud, he was a huge baby but mum seemed to have no problems getting him out and was probably quite relieved. He was up and drinking very quickly and has already put on some weight and looking very healthy.
Amaretto will be for sale once weaned. His sire is Alma Director who has delivered some beautiful babies for us.
