Learn more about this pristine horse property in Denmark.
Kirstineholm is a family operation that is managed by Ida Steen Riemann Ejlersgaard, her husband Christian Ejlersgaard and her mother-in-law Hanne Ejlersgaard. They also run a boutique equestrian shop, Kirstineholm Rideudstyr. The stable was founded by Peer and Hanne, accomplished Grand Prix dressage riders and previous fox hunters. Kirstineholm is one of the most exclusive stables in Denmark, located in Hoejbjerg. There are two stables on the property, one built by an architect 20 years ago, who is now retired and one built eight years ago. Every detail was thoughtfully designed by Hanne and Peer, Ida’s mother and father-in-law.
White Barn
The property has been in the family for years, but the house, stables and indoor arena were built twenty years ago by Hanne and Peer. Pictured here is the L-shaped white stable. It is currently rented out by Hoejgaard Hesteklinik (prominent vets in Denmark).
The interior of the white barn features ten box stalls made by Laake. The stalls are used by the veterinarians when they have sick horses needing extra care. The barn has beautiful high ceilings that draw your eyes up.
Red Barn
There are eleven handmade stalls inside the red barn. Ida and her family use this barn for their personal and client’s horses.It features beautiful wood beams and cobblestone flooring. Everything was customized by a private woodworker and a blacksmith. The wood is from Latvia and the barn aisles are made of cobblestone.
Fun fact: The old barn was on the cover of Vogue 25 years ago.
Tidy tack.
Hay and shavings are stored here at the end of the stable.
