State Stud Celle

By decree of Georg II, Elector of Hanover and King of Great Britain, too, the Celle National State Stud was founded on July 27, 1735.

In 1800, approx. 100 stallions were available to the breeders, sent out to roughly 50 service stations every year. Today, the stallion stock includes 140 stud stallions, among them 10 thoroughbreds and 2 Anglo-Arabians. And there are 40 three-year-old young stallions at the Stallion Performance Testing Station Adelheidsdorf, completing their 11 months lasting training and passing their stallion performance test at the age of 3 ½.
