Welcome to
the homepage of our Icelandic horse farm Blumencron.
Situated
close to Hamburg in northern Germany this farm was started in
2005 by the family Müller von Blumencron.
Besides horse pension, teaching and horse training we also breed Icelandic horses. With several mares (such as IS1990286854 - Spes frá Skammbeinsstöðum 1 and DE2005284349 - Lýdía von Birkenlund) we make pairings with different stallions like Þótti frá Hólum, Álfasteinn frá Selfossi, Glaður frá Hólabaki, Hlynur frá Kjarnholtum I and many more. Our fist offspring is already successful in competing. Tilberi von Blumencron won different competitions in Tölt and Fourgait. Grimur von Blumencron is now five years old and he will also become a very interesting competition horse.
Our horsefarm
is a family business. The siblings Oliver, Daniel and Marina all
work with horses, as a horseshoemaker or as trainer and teacher.
Christine, the mother, supports the project with her knowledge
in accupunkture and
veterinary science. She is responsible for the
horeses health and wellfare.
We take care
for about 50 horses in a very beautiful surrounding. The
grassland is situated directly besides the stables. We have an
oval track (200 m), an enclosed manege
(40 m x 20 m) and an idyllic riding area that
invites for both short and long trips with the horse.
If you have any questions, like to visit or to work here for some month, don’t hesitate to contact us via E-Mail: Marina@Islandpferdehof-Blumencron.de
Some parts of the
old building ensemble of the „Neue Mühle“ now the Icelandic
horsefarm Blumencron, are more than 200 years old. It is only 25
years ago that the old millhouse standing beside the small stream
Mühlenbek was still grinding cereals.
Unfortunately for
many years no one cared for the interesting history of the building
ensemble. The millhouse, a bakehouse, an old shed, a pigsty and the
main residential building fall victim to wind and weather, woodworms
and rotting. When we bought the “New Mill” in 2005 branches
had already destroyed some parts of the roofs, the fundaments were
wet and parts of the old framework were rotten. However a very
exciting time started – characterized by hard work on restoration
and renewal in the beginning.
Now after five
years the most important preventive measures are taken and a very
idyllic place in the nature has now become the home of many horese
and the place where many people spend their time on the weekends.
