  • For the 30th Anniversary of the WBFSH we caught up with a series of prominent people that have been or still are an integral part of the organisation. What do breeding and the WBFSH mean to them?

    We managed to secure the next interview with Lynne Crowden of the Woodlander Stud in the UK. Originally a breeder of thoroughbreds, she is a strong believer in line-breeding, and focusing on the dam line. She has taken these philosophies with her into dressage breeding, and has excelled at producing horses of international quality. Perhaps most famous is the striking chestnut mare Woodlander Farouche (by Fürst Heinrich), double Dressage World Breeding Championship Gold Medallist. Her dam Dornröschen (by Dimaggio), who has given Lynne 4 licensed stallions, was awarded Mare of the Year in 2022, and after a successful sport and breeding career, is now enjoying her retirement.
