Stutteri G is a breeding and training facility of top quality, home bred dressage horses with the best modern dressage bloodlines from Danish warmblood and the Hanoverian society.  Located in Lynge, north of Copenhagen, Stutteri G was founded in 2014 by Helene Geervliet who started as a hobby breeder in 2005.

Geervliet has developed a breeding programme that now ranks amongst the best in the country. This year her mare family was invited to participate in the highly prestigious "Herwart von der Decken" prize ring at the annual Hanoverian Elite Mare show in Verden. The Herwart von der Decken is a special invitation-only competition in which breeders present a mare family of at least two generations. Stutteri G was there with a unique mare family of three generations. The prize is only bestowed every four years and is the highest honour for a Hanoverian horse breeder to be invited to. 

Helene grew up around horses with her parents managing Stutteri Skovgaard in Farum (DEN), where they bred Danish warmblood horses and New Forrest ponies. After retiring from her professional career as a civil engineer, Geervliet combined her passion and expertise in dressage horse breeding with as goal to produce tomorrow's Grand prix horses, breeding stallions and medal winning broodmares.
