The idea is excellence.  Excellence in every aspect.  Conformation, movement, temperament, color, size, trainability and 'win-ability'  A Rock is the stallion to achieve that in our own breeding program and in yours.  Let us help you.

A Rock has earned the highest honor in the Haflinger World by being classified 'GOLD' According to the World Haflinger Federation Standards.  There are only four other Gold stallions in North America, and only the top 1% of Haflingers in the world have this honor.  After limited breeding the past five years, we are now offering A Rock to the general public for breeding. He is a great outcross option in the US as his offspring do not have any Nabucco, Winterstein or Afghan blood 6 generations back! A Rock is a extremely versatile horse, excelling in Hunter under saddle, dressage, western pleasure, trail, and pleasure driving. He is back in the show ring being shown at thirteen years of age!  How many Haflinger stallions do you see doing that?  We strive to produce and train all around Haflinger Horses. He passes this on to his offspring as well! We will also help you to market your A Rock offspring, show, and train for reduced fees.

Now booking for 2010 breeding to A Rock!  Breeding season starts March 1st-June 1st

  A Rock offspring are unique, have very kind dispositions, are extremely smart and that being the case do very well in all around performance events which is our goal at Woodward Performance Haflingers.  Since these offspring  are so straightforward to train, they are very willing to learn.  His offspring also tend to be 'late bloomers' and mature when they are around five years old, so not great for futurity babies when judges like a more filled out 'mature' looking foal, (although filly Marquis MJW taking 2nd place in 2008 is hardly anything to be upset about for a three month old!)  however once they hit the ring as three year olds the true potential shines through!  Please contact us for more information on booking to A Rock.  Our 2010 breeding season runs from Feb10-June 10.  

We do not overbook A Rock. We are looking for people who are dedicated in bettering their Haflinger herd and the Haflinger breed in general.  We are not looking to breed mares 'just because'  The idea is excellence.  Let us help you achieve that excellence.

We look forward to working with you and helping you with your goal! 740-829-2735 Coshocton, Ohio haflingerhorse@hotmail.com

We couldn't be more thrilled to have this amazing stallion in our barn! 

A Rock was introduced to me as a two year old, recently imported from Austria.  I started him under saddle and had a instant connection with this horse.  Something that to this day I have yet to find with another horse in the capacity that I had with A Rock.  He is the reason I switched to the Haflinger breed.

A Rock has earned the highest honor in the Haflinger World by being classified 'GOLD' According to the World Haflinger Federation Standards.  There are only four other Gold stallions in North America, and only the top 1% of Haflingers in the world have this honor.  After limited breeding the past five years, we are now offering A Rock to the general public for breeding. He is a great outcross option in the US as his offspring do not have any Nabucco, Winterstein or Afghan blood 6 generations back! A Rock is a extremely versatile horse, excelling in Hunter under saddle, dressage, western pleasure, trail, and pleasure driving. He is back in the show ring being shown at eleven years of age!  How many Haflinger stallions do you see doing that?  We strive to produce and train all around Haflinger Horses. He passes this on to his offspring as well!
