The passion of the horse. Once you’ve been enchanted by it, you’ll rarely let go. So it’s no wonder that entire families are often behind equestrian sports and horse breeding. Families for whom the love of horses and riding is a way of life that they cultivate and pass on over generations. Full of fascination, tradition and devotion. Often a very special ambience is created in their surroundings. Over the decades, simple farms have been transformed into magnificent riding facilities, estates have been expanded and modernized, or completely new buildings have been constructed with a fascinating appearance. They are all characterized by the handwriting of their inhabitants, which is unique and special each time.

However, they all have one thing in common: a passion for equestrian sports and horse breeding. This passion has also gripped and spurred me on from an early age. So much so that I absolutely wanted to capture and bundle the special atmosphere and flair of all these stud farms and riding facilities. The result is the illustrated book „Homes & Horses“. It presents impressive riding facilities from all over the world, from the North Sea to the edge of the Alps, from sunny California to palm-fringed Florida and from exotic Brazil to hot Spain. Each has its own charm and style, and each is as unique as the dreams of its builders and owners.
