Philipp Baumgart
Philipp Baumgart brings extensive German young horse expertise and a strong breeding background to his role as selector for the inaugural RDS Elite Show Jumping Foal Sale in partnership with Go!s. A long standing judge at the Dublin Horse Show and its qualifiers, he is widely recognised for his clear, consistent assessments and his ability to identify future performance horses with accuracy. As head of the Baumgart family programme at Roewer & Rüb, Philipp works daily with young horses from first handling through to competition preparation, focusing on balance, rideability, and correct development. His breeding knowledge is further shaped by his family heritage as nephew of renowned Holsteiner breeder, Harm Thormaehlen, giving him a deep understanding of type, bloodlines, and sport horse potential.
Across Germany and Ireland, Philipp is valued for his thoughtful judging style and his strong grasp of what constitutes genuine athletic ability and temperament. His long association with the Dublin Horse Show provides him with a well- rounded perspective on Irish breeding and young horse production. For the RDS Elite Foal Sale, Philipp contributes a discerning eye, practical experience, and a breeding philosophy centred on producing horses capable of progressing to the highest levels of the sport.
