Woodke's Walnut Woods Curly Horses
Monterey, Indiana

ABCR Breeder # 181
By: Carrie Freeland

Woodke's Walnut Woods became a licensed ABCR breeder ten years ago, in 1998. Marvin Woodke began with two curly horses, his stallion, DCC Drifter ABC 2287 and one curly mare, LTF Charming Lady 2099. Originally, Marv wanted the Curly horses for family recreation, but  liked
the breed so well he decided to become a breeder of
gaited Curlies.

WWW Ranch breeds gaited Curly horses for show, breeding stock, and all around family horses. Drifter's get have consistently placed well at show in Halter, Gaited Performance, Huntseat and Western disciplines. He has improved on size, conformation and movement in each of
his foals. They have all shown good dispositions and all
have been suspected hypo allergenic.

All of Drifter's foals have been naturally smooth gaited, showing the flat footed walk, foxtrot and rocking horse canter. Drifter and several of his offspring have shown successfully at Open Shows, Curly Horse Shows, and 4-H. Three of Drifter's offspring, all fillies, were exported to Europe in 2007 to further gaited breeding programs overseas.

In 2006, Marvin added another gaited ABCR stallion to his breeding program to breed to Drifter's offspring. SLL Sir Patrick's Lil Chip -ABC 3366 brings not only additional gaited curly bloodlines to the breeding program, but exceptional curly coats, temperament and sabino color. Both of these stallions are available for breeding services and located in Monterey, Indiana. Please feel free to contact WWW Ranch regarding hypo allergenic testing, riding horses for show or trail, breeding stock or stallion service. Stock available for sale at all times.
