“We sell the majority of our foals<br />

at weaning and they have such<br />

trainable temperaments that they sell to<br />

professional riders and amateurs alike.<br />

Youngstock sales were going really well<br />

before the lockdown, and we have 3<br />

cracking new foals this year. We keep<br />

some – I have two Darco colts at the<br />

moment, one was a futurity champion<br />

last year and we have just had his full<br />

brother. I want to keep one as a stallion,<br />

so will have to make a choice. It is<br />

important to have the next generation<br />

of stallions to keep improving the<br />

lines”, explains Hazel. “I have always<br />

liked working with stallions. Perhaps I<br />

am lucky to have such lovely stallions<br />

to work with but then that is not by<br />

accident! My 11 year old daughter was<br />

having lessons on Carthago Chicago<br />

before the lockdown”.<br />

WG Stud has always been a supporter<br />

of <strong>British</strong> breeding and especially the<br />

Futurity Evaluations, with Silvester’s<br />

progeny having been awarded 11 Elites<br />

to date. Let’s hope their new venture will<br />

help bring many more.<br />
