Hengstaufzucht Hof Helbig

Hof Helbig is a horse-rearing farm in Neutestorf, Ostholstein, in the Holstein Switzerland region near the Baltic Sea. Martin Helbig and his late wife Heike took over Martin’s parents’ farm in 2006 and established a focus on raising young stallions and horses of different ages. The farm also accommodates retired horses and horses needing a period of rehabilitation or rest.

Its facilities include three bright, spacious loose-housing boxes converted from a former cattle barn, with direct access to paddocks. The largest box can accommodate up to 20 young stallions. In winter, horses have access to the boxes and well-maintained paddocks, which were renewed in 2017.

From May to October, they graze on extensive, hilly pastureland; its varied terrain encourages movement and supports muscle and ligament development. The Helbig family produces its own straw, hay and haylage for the horses. Hof Helbig also offers young horses for sale and provides information about its rearing services, offspring and available horses through its website
