PAROLES D'ÉLEVEURS
" Wooded is the legacy of the Ballymacoll breeding operation, whose whole family I knew very well. We find in his offspring all the characteristics specific to this family with mental,
physical and a lot of strenght."
Alec Waugh - Jedburgh Stud - March 2023
“Our Wooded yearling has progressed tremendously from foal to yearling. She has taken on some great depth and has a lot of class. We look forward to the upcoming foals and
we will continue to support him! "
Guillaume Garçon - Haras de l'Hotellerie - March 2023
"I'm very pleased with both my Wooded yearling colts at Maulepaire. Powerful without looking heavy, with good strong points and an even growth, they impress me with their balance both physically and mentally. They're decisively shaped for speed."
Pierric Rouxel - Haras de Maulepaire - March 2023
"We’re delighted with our Wooded foal out of Cry Baby, he is a powerful colt with quality
and an exceptional mover! We won’t hesitate to return to Wooded who seems to
be great value for money. "
Charles Brière - Fariway Consignment - Mars 2023 pour Ecurie des Monnaies et Yann Barberot
« Wooded already striked me by his oustanding conformation and his excellent temper when I had him in pre-training. I've used Wooded since he's retired to stud and he brings exactly what I had hoped for to his progeny. I'm really glad I bought into him recently as it will allow me to use him even more. »
Alban Chevalier du Fau - ACF Equine - Mars 2023
