The stud complex

The riding complex is situated in direct neighborhood to the local recreation area Woldsee in Petersfehn II. It not only offers every kind of comfort to the rider but also serves for an absolute well-being of the four-legged residents.

 

At the moment 40 horses belong to the Gestüt, starting with the breeding mare and young horses to real tournament cracks.

Indoor Arena

 

The indoor arena comes with a size of 23 x 40 m. It is completely insulated which makes riding at all kind of weather circumstances a pleasure. The footing consits of a sand/ fleece mix which is still high quality even though it has already been used for nearly four years now. The automatic sprinkling system adds on to ideal footing conditions and furthermore serves for an dust-free climate. Due to the windows all around the arena is light-flooded and friendly. Together with the electric lighting taking photos and making films is possible without having to use blitz chesses.

 

The stable wing attached to the arena gives room to another 14 horses. Each single stable has again an outside window which does not only make the stable light but also serves for fresh air. To the outside above the horses' heads a special wind break fabric is affixed which prevents draft but serves for an ideal air exchange.

 

 

The outside arena with sand ground can be used both as dressage and as jumping arena. With its measurement of  20 x 60 meter it stands up to international standard. On the patio and between the indoor and the outside arena people can sit down and follow the training.

 

Stable building

 

The tournament horses are placed in the front stable building. Here, 21 big single stables with outside view can be found. Due to its height and a well-thought-out aeration system, ideal conditions for the horses are given, airy, but without draft.

 

 

In this building, rooms such as the stable office, tack rooms and washing- and clean-up places for the horses can also be found on the first level. On the second levels are two apartments for employees of the stud.

Pastures

On our pastures, most of our young horses and brood mares with their descendants, will enjoy the summer months. Being inside during winter, they are then on paddocks, riding hall and horse walker. Therefore they are on movement also in winter.
