Our Passion

Our Passion
For generations, we have devoted ourselves to horse breeding with true passion. For us, breeding is not just about producing foals—it’s about thoughtful and responsible pairings with a focus on health, performance, and character.

Clear Breeding Philosophy
Our broodmares are carefully selected according to one simple principle:

Only the best go into breeding.

  • Only healthy mares without inheritable diseases (e.g., navicular disease, chips, OCD) are used.
  • Sires are carefully performance-tested and proven.
  • Strong, proven dam lines over several generations are our priority.
  • Every pairing is planned carefully and considered individually.

For us, breeding is about taking responsibility.

Character Matters
A great horse excels not only in sport but also in daily life. That’s why we place the highest value on:

  • Balanced, honest temperament
  • Trust and connection with humans
  • Excluding horses with undesirable behavior

We breed healthy, willing, and friendly horses.

Natural Upbringing
Our horses grow up in as natural an environment as possible:

  • Large pastures with plenty of exercise
  • Year-round freedom, especially for young horses
  • Daily contact with humans
  • High-quality feed, mostly produced in-house

This provides a solid foundation for healthy growth and mental balance.

Guidance from the Start
From insemination to training under saddle, we accompany our horses every step of the way. Our young horses know us from birth, building trust from day one.

As a result, training under saddle is generally smooth and stress-free.

Proven in Sport – Loved in Everyday Life
Our horses have excelled at the highest levels in international show jumping and endurance riding. Initially, we focused on placing our best young horses with professionals to fully realize their potential.

Today, we are equally delighted when amateurs enjoy riding beautiful, high-quality horses in sport.

For us, one thing matters most:

Our horses should be valued, treated fairly, and loved.

More Than Breeding – A Matter of the Heart
Our animals are full-fledged family members. Their well-being always comes first, because:

Only when our horses are happy we are happy too.

Working with them every day is not a job for us—it is a passion we live.
