The Legacy of Gestüt Quenhorn
In 1954, Carl Fastenrath leased SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN and established Gestüt Quenhorn, laying the foundation for a legacy of excellence. Initially a private stud, it evolved into one of Germany's most important boarding operations. Top winners bred and raised at Quenhorninclude Arjon, Britannia, Indica, Limbo, Lady Arc, Prairie Neba, Tarim, Zank, Zahroff, and Ziethen.
A New Era with Graf und Gräfin Stauffenberg
In 1999, Marion and Philipp von Stauffenberg took over SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN, transforming it into a modern, internationally focused breeding operation. The original buildings were fully renovated, maintaining their historic charm. All fences were renewed and additional land was leased to expand the stud's capacity. High class winners bred, raised or prepped since then include Gr.1 winners LADY MARIAN, LUCKY SPEED, Gr.2 winners FOUR SINS, WONDERFUL MOON, Gr.3 winners AL GALAYEL, CALRISSIAN, FEARLESS HUNTER, FAVORITE MOON, KALDERA, LUCIDOR, ROSSCARBERY, TRAIS FLUORS and many more Stakeswinners.Reaching New Heights with Stauffenberg Bloodstock
It was taken on by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK in 2020, further refining its state-of-the-art facilities and expanding its range of thoroughbred services, from boarding to yearling preparation.Since then, the farm has been the birthplace or early home of top-class racehorses, including Gr.1 German Derby winner and Horse of the Year FANTASTIC MOON, Gr.3 winners FLORA OF BERMUDA, ROMANTIC STYLE and SOPRANO.
Today, SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN stands as a premier breeding and training establishment, blending decades of tradition with modern expertise to shape the champions of tomorrow.
