Quality is of paramount importance

Roy van den Heuvel: "Quality is our top priority. This is reflected in the fact that our horses are in our stables for a longer time of period for extensive training. The well-being and the own learning pace of the horses are our number one priority, and we draw up a personal training schedule with a lot of variety in the training. In good weather, the horses also go outside for at least 2 to 3 hours a day.

Per horse we look at what he or she needs. The aim here is that the horse learns a strong basis, moves with balance and on its own feet and is able to make quick transitions. From here we start on the heavier exercises. By focusing on this, we guarantee quality and that’s why our clients always ride our horses with a big smile."

Bianca Koenen: "Because we have a small-scale accommodation, our horses get the opportunity to develop skills for the higher dressage sport under the best conditions. Giving them a personal approach and sincere attention, we build a good relationship with both our clients and our horses. Aftercare is the key to success. Here we prepare new horse-rider combinations for exciting new challenges in the near future."
