The stud at Lake Starnberg

Founded in 1989, Gestüt Ammerland is located on beautiful Lake Starnberg at the foothills of the Bavarian Alps. With its 500 hectares of rolling meadows, forestland, spacious stable facilities and riding arenas, the stud counts as one of Germany's most beautiful stud farms. Britannia (second - German Oaks 1988) and Luigi (winner - German Derby 1988) laid the foundation for Gestüt Ammerland's early success in thoroughbred racing.
