There is something incredibly rewarding about working with a horse over time and watching both confidence and understanding grow.

Priapi is a horse I always enjoy riding, and I look forward to every opportunity to continue his development.

Every horse has its own journey, its own strengths, and its own challenges. One of the things I enjoy most as a rider is figuring out what each horse needs to become the best version of itself.

That’s what good training is really about, not forcing a horse into a system, but developing confidence, strength, understanding, and partnership.

Looking forward to continuing the journey with this special boy. ❤️🐴

🇳🇱

Er is iets bijzonders aan het werken met een paard over langere tijd en het zien groeien van vertrouwen, begrip en samenwerking.

Priapi is een paard dat ik altijd met veel plezier rijd en ik kijk ernaar uit om verder te bouwen aan zijn ontwikkeling.

Goede training draait niet om een paard in een bepaald systeem te dwingen, maar om kracht, vertrouwen, balans en partnerschap te ontwikkelen.

The horse always comes first.

Over the years I’ve worn many hats in this industry; rider, trainer, test rider, sales agent, coach, and consultant.

But at the heart of everything I do is a simple belief:

Every horse deserves to be understood as an individual.

No two horses learn the same way.
No two horses have the same strengths.
No two horses have the same story.

Whether I’m developing a young horse, helping a client find the right partner, or preparing a horse for competition, my first job is always the same:

Listen to the horse.

The rest becomes much easier when you start there. ❤️

Het paard staat altijd op de eerste plaats.

Door de jaren heen heb ik veel verschillende rollen gehad binnen de paardensport: ruiter, trainer, testruiter, bemiddelaar en coach.

Maar de basis blijft altijd hetzelfde:

Elk paard is uniek en verdient het om als individu begrepen te worden.

Wanneer je eerst naar het paard luistert, wordt de rest vaak een stuk eenvoudiger. ❤️

🖤 Roxy

It’s hard to believe that Roxy is only one year old.

I’ve had dogs for most of my life, and after a two year break, I knew I wanted another companion to share this life with. A dog who could come to the stable, travel with me, and be part of all the adventures that come with horses.

What I didn’t expect was just how good she would be at it.

Whether we’re at the stable, walking through the paddocks, meeting clients, or heading off on another road trip to test ride horses, she’s happiest when she’s right there with me, and she always is… right there with me.

Loyal, intelligent, eager to be involved in everything, and always keeping one eye on where I am.

In just one year, we’ve become quite the team. Somehow she always seems to know exactly what her job is, and she does it better than I ever could have hoped.

My little shadow, my travel companion, and quite possibly the best dog I’ve ever had. 🐾🖤

🇳🇱 Het is bijna niet te geloven dat Roxy pas één jaar oud is. In zo’n korte tijd zijn we een echt team geworden. Ze gaat overal mee naartoe, houdt me altijd in de gaten en lijkt precies te begrijpen wat haar taak is. Mijn kleine schaduw en misschien wel de beste hond die ik ooit heb gehad. 🖤🐾

🖤 Nyx of Invictus (2018 v. Totilas)

One of the things I enjoy most about training horses is seeing the gradual development that happens over time.

With Nyx, the focus has been on building strength, balance, suppleness and rideability. As those pieces improve, the expression and quality of the work continue to grow as well.

A talented mare with a wonderful character and a bright future ahead.

🇳🇱 Nyx ontwikkelt zich iedere week verder in kracht, souplesse en draagkracht. Een getalenteerde merrie met een prachtig karakter en veel potentie voor de toekomst.

Owner: Tanja Jansen

As the summer competition season begins, many riders start thinking about their next partner for the future 🐴✨

For those who don’t know me yet , I’m an American rider living and working in the Netherlands for nearly 10 years, centrally based near Belgium and Germany.

I offer two services for international clients searching for dressage horses in Europe:

▪️ Independent, commission-free test rides with completely objective feedback
▪️ Transparent horse sales assistance and matchmaking (never more than 10% commission)

A large part of my work happens behind the scenes speaking extensively with clients to understand exactly what they need in a horse, reviewing videos, traveling to barns across Europe, test riding horses, and providing detailed written reports describing everything from rideability and temperament to strengths, weaknesses, and overall suitability.

I also assist clients throughout the full buying process, including vetting, contracts, negotiations, and international transport.

My goal is simple: to make the horse buying process more honest, transparent, and stress-free.

Subtop Maarn ✨ Kali’s (Kalitha M) turn in the ring, now officially classified in the Prix St. Georges and an FEI horse 🎉

She gave a really good feeling 🤍 No big mistakes, just a few things to keep improving as she gains more show experience.

6th place in a big class, less than 1% behind 3rd, very close scores.

She’s getting stronger and I’m really proud of her. So happy to be back out competing again ✨

Thank you to my team, my good luck charm Dylan (and photographer 🥰), my trainer Tor van den Berge , and V. Hulst Zadels for the perfect saddle fit 🙏

Onwards and upwards 💫
