Passion for thoroughbreds
and horseman as a vocation

Philipp turned his lifelong love for horses into a profession and his 

admiration for thoroughbreds led him to becoming not only a professional 

in the industry, but also a private breeder. Through STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK 

he provides all aspects of thoroughbred breeding and racing services to help 

his clients to acquire, breed, race and sell outstanding thoroughbreds.

He perceives himself as a "developer" of thoroughbred athletes and it fills

him with pride to see “his products” to fulfill their final targets and winning

races around the world. Living in and with the nature, acting on a strong intuition

for the potential of individual horses and the thrill of turning them into

top athletes, make this job a true vocation for him.

He has been active in leading positions at various stud farms since 1985,

founded STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK in 1994 and took on stud farm 

SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN in 1999. Together with his wife Marion, he breeds 

and races thoroughbreds under the name GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG.
