Chilled semen transport is available for our stallions American Ideal, Bettor's Delight and Pegasus Spur. Frozen semen only is available for Crazed and Lislea.

Foaling Service

Woodlands offers a foaling nightwatch service. We endevour to have foals born at the stud monitored as the first few hours of life are critical. Even if you are not planning to breed your mare again this season, you can take advantage of this valuable service.

Artificial Breeding

To comply with our export requirements as a semen export facility no mare is served naturally at Woodlands Stud. Our laboratory is first class and we use the latest technology and reproductive techniques to maximise the fertility of the stallions and give your broodmare every chance of getting in foal. Your mare's cycle will be tracked by ultrasound examination by a veterinarian to ensure she is inseminated at the optimum time to maximise the chance of conception.

Semen Transport

Semen can be transported from all our stallions around NZ and Australia. Woodlands is a certified base for exportation of semen to Australia .

Chilled fresh semen transport is available for American Ideal, Bettor's Delight and Pegasus Spur. Frozen semen only is available for Crazed and Lislea.

In NZ studs collect and ship semen every second day in a rotation of Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat, etc. To calculate the collection day remember the second Tuesday of November which is NZ Cup day is a collection day. From that day count every second day from that point for all the serve days from the start of September till end of January. The shuttle stallions leave for their Northern Hemishpere stud duties at the end of January. The frozen semen of Crazed and Lislea is available any day. Fresh semen for Pegasus Spur is available later than end of January because he is resident in NZ all year. Fresh chilled semen can be sent to any recognised semen base, stud or equine vet in New Zealand or Australia. We expect studs to respect the service we provide by careful examination of the mare to select the day of service to maximise the conception rate. Semen transport to a bases in NZ and Australia is expensive.

Frozen Semen

The Stud has been breeding with frozen semen for many years and has a high conception rate over this period.
