This year we are celebrating our anniversary: 25 years of Gestüt Sprehe.

A quarter of a century in which we have achieved a great deal with our stallions in German, European and worldwide sport horse breeding. We look back on great stallion careers. 

In just a short career, Fürst Heinrich proved to be an early milestone early milestone in the history of our station. In 2001 he won the 30-day test in 2001, main premium winner in Oldenburg in 2002 and world champion of five-year-old dressage horses in 2003. In his short career he produced several champion stallions. In Benstrup, his sons Fürst Fugger (Bundeschampion 2010 and 2012) and Fürst Wilhelm (VTV Stallion of the Year 2017) have made headlines.

Quidam's Rubin also had a short but extremely successful career with groundbreaking hereditary power. The HLP record winner produced 31 licensed sons and 224 offspring successful in advanced (S) level show jumping competitions with a progeny profit of over 2.4 million euros. We experienced great moments in international sport with the Hanoverian stallions

Stakkato Gold and Desperados. Both represented our stud farm on the big national international stages. Desperados was for a time the most successful dressage horse in the world and an integral part of the German championship team, crowned with the team gold and individual bronze medals at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (BRA). Both were named “Hanoverian Stallion of the Year” in consecutive years - 2015 and 2016. This has never happened before for a privatestation ever before.

Currently, it is the magnificent Trakehner Millennium who is conquering the world's top dressage in dressage. He is already a four-time elite stallion and multiple Stallion of the Year, with over 100 licensed sons and international dressage horses, he is in a class of his own.

Last but not least, we are proud of our breeding successes with the Oldenburg mare line 248/Domka II (by Rekord-Edelbert-Gratus-Emanuel-Ergo-Eckhard-Elmano Runibald-Edo-Jochens Landessohn), which has been with us as the Sprehe family for over 60 years now, and to a certain extent represents the nucleus of our horse breeding, and can be traced back to 1865.

But let's look ahead: even in our anniversary year, there are some highly interesting newcomers that deserve your attention.

Our employees and the team on site will be happy to advise you. We wish you a successful breeding year with healthy foals and pregnant mares. We would like to do what we can to contribute to this.
