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 Germany & Trakehner Verband Germany.

Garuda K has been winning at Advanced level since the age of 7 years old with very impressive scores of over 70% he is now winning Inter 1 and just starting Inter 11. He Qualified for the National & International 4 & 5 Year Old Classes in his younger years.
