On 3 June, Anna Maria (née Bauer) and Stephan Haarhoff tied the knot. The civil wedding took place against the picturesque backdrop of the Falshöft lighthouse in Pommerby on the Gelting Bucht. The historic Wittkielhof was chosen for the celebrations with family, friends and colleagues.

The native Rhinelanders and the Schleswig-Holstein native had met in 2018 at the Federal Young Breeders Competition in Graditz. Shortly thereafter, Stephan Haarhoff took up his position for the Association of Breeders of the Holsteiner Horse and moved to Northern Germany. At the Holsteiner Verband, he initially assisted the then breeding director Dr Thomas Nissen as a junior executive, and has held the position of breeding director since 2021. Both professionally – Anna Maria Haarhoff works for ClipMyHorse.tv – and personally, the couple shares a passion for horses, sport and breeding. The entire team of the Holsteiner Verband wishes them all the best for their wedding and their further journey together.
