Since 1989, a farm has become a breeding stud
Better known under the name of "Sonnenhof", the agricultural company
belonging to the family of Rudolf and Regina Faymonville and their four
children has served them for decades as a means of earning their living.
In 1989, the son Josef took over the family farm and in addition to his
main profession of a tax and company management adviser, he wanted to
become a breeder and it was then that he discovered his passion for
breeding horses.
The first mares arrived at the farm in 1991 and the planned mating of
North Rhine Westphalia mares and stallions rapidly produced foals of
very high quality. The foundations of successful breeding had been laid
and soon afterwards all the mares were registered in the principal
Rhineland studbook.
 With
the support of his wife Gaby and of the tireless zeal of his father
Rudolf, Josef Faymonville’s stud rapidly became one of the principal
breeding operations in the east of Belgium and at present has 5 or 6
full-time employees.
 With
a great deal of interest and tireless zeal, the father, Rudolf, gave
his support to the new activity of the farm and until his death in
2003, his experience of contact with animals proved a valuable
supporting pillar of the Sonnenhof stud.
