Philipp’s approach is deeply hands-on and personal—he does not simply breed horses, he develops them with heart and soul. For him, every thoroughbred is a masterpiece in the making, and his greatest joy comes from seeing them thrive, compete, and win. He lives and breathes this sport, guided by his profound connection with nature and an instinctive ability to recognize greatness in young horses.

Whether discovering future champions, shaping them into elite athletes, or guiding their racing careers, Philipp remains at the forefront of international thoroughbred excellence, fueled by an unbreakable bond with his horses.
