About Us

Al Ilaf Stud is a family-run stud farm with a long-standing passion for Straight Egyptian Arabians.

The journey with these exceptional horses began in 1985 and has since than developed into a lifelong dedication. 

In an old farm building, lovingly renovated, Al Ilaf Stud is home to Straight Egyptian Arabian Horses and Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs as well as some cats and chickens. With great care and an eye for the smallest details a peaceful and welcoming place has been created in the countryside, just outside the city of Hamburg.

Breeding Philosophy

For us the overall picture of a horse is what matters most. We value a harmonious overall appearance where all features come together and complement each other.

In our breeding decisions, we pay particular attention to a well balanced body, beautiful and ground-covering movement, big black eyes, a naturally high tail carriage and of course a wonderful character. For us it is important to breed horses that are not only beautiful but also rideable and clear-minded with a kind and gentle temperament.
