How have we started?

When I was 7 years old, eventually it was allowed for me learning riding. In the zoo I first stopped when I saw the ponys at the end of the zoo. My mother has driven my sister and me to the riding school and after 3 lesson she decided also to learn it. There she was 32 years old.

We have bought our first horse in march 1975, the Westfalian gelding Salut by Perser xx - Salut (Trak) - Lichtenstein (Holst) and in 1977 the first dam Dwina by Wodkin - Duft II - Folklunger. Dwina has got our first foal because she was in foal by an unknown colt.

We got fans of mares with Penny Lane by Panther x - Wahlmann - Agram, borned in 1974. She was the horse for leisure riding for my mother and for me a high level show jumper until 1,45m. Only with a stick measure of 1,59m she has a lot of ambition, performance and self confidence and every time she wanted to jump at the other side. Due to injury Penny has to make a break of 1 year and so she was covered. This was the beginning of our small breeding.

Her foal was Relax by Report II (Ramiro) and he made a career as a dressage horse until the highest level. Unfortunately Penny didn't got in foal again after ending her sport career. But until this time the breeding runs us in the blood. Preferably we have bought only mares for the sport with an excellent pedigree. This mares shouldn't feature only good gains but also able to jump in an outstanding quality and riding easy. Well schooled horses in dressage are very important for show jumping therefore my high level jumping horses has received placings in dressage until the level M*.

The following characters are very important for us: performance in the sport, the mareline, the will, rideability and certainly health. Our broodmareas have a x-ray examination and there are no inheritable features. Also our young broodmares are x-rayed with 2,5 years before covering.

We are members in the breeding associations of Holstein and Hanover. Our focus is the Holsteiner blood and additional we prefer the bloodlines of Selle Fraincais, Anglo Normand and purebred Anglo-Arabian. Naturally there should be a lot of thoroughbred in the pedigrees.

Since the year 2001 we have got our own stable with enough boxes and all the needed things and a lot of grass-land. The most important breeding associations are closed by.

In the year 2005 I was licensed as an inseminator. It was necessary to be independent from the veterinary. So I'm able to inseminate my broodmares and the mares of the clientes which are in boarding. There are enough possibilities and the all around care is guaranteed.
