Our mission is to breed horses that will prove lifelong partners for both the amateur and the professional, focusing on rideability, temperament, movement, soundness and beauty. All of our mares have been chosen for their impeccable bloodlines and the stallions we breed to are all selected for their superb test scores and performance record.

Located in the heart of the Hanoverian breeding region of Kehdingen, along the Elbe River and close to the North Sea coast, our 250 year old farm has been devoted for decades to the breeding of exceptional Hanoverian horses.

Our Aunt Anneliese Jungclaus, a renowned breeder in her own right, established breeding operations here in 1934 with the mare Allerufer by Allerhand out of Jalta by Jassy. Three of her daughters (by Duellant and Förster) in turn founded additional mare lines. Hanoverian legends such as Grande, Frustra II and Duellant, all of whom sired exceptional performance horses for both dressage and jumping, form the basis of our mare line.

The breeding tradition at Gut Neuensteden has been carried on by Ilsemarie Wrede and her family since 1985. Success at regional and national breeding and performance shows speaks for itself. The introduction of the thoroughbred blood of exceptional stallions like Forrest xx and Lauries Crusador xx has above all contributed to the refinement and high performance potential of our horses.

Now the next generation has taken over, with daughter Sylla and her family. She has started a small, but very succesful breeding program with German Riding Ponies at Gut Neuensteden. But dressage horse breeding is still our primary focus.

Today some 50 horses live at our farm, 35 of our own and 15 boarders. The fresh air and quality soil of the marshes and pastures create an optimal environment for the horses. Each year about 10 foals out of our own and boarded mares are born and lovingly raised here under ideal conditions on acres of one of the best pasture lands for horses in Germany and are handled daily from birth. You will be able to see this in the ease to which our horses respond to handling and training - not to mention their loving and gentle attitudes and manners. All of the young horses at our farm are started under saddle, trained and shown competitively by Sylla, who has competed successfully up to Prix St. Georges herself. All prospective broodmares are likewise tested under saddle before entering our breeding program.
