🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Riding moments like this remind me why I love what I do. Feeling the power, balance, and promise of a young horse like Zarina as she develops with every stride.
Each ride is a step forward, refining, listening, and building trust. Watching her talent unfold in this beautiful arena is truly inspiring, and I can’t wait to see where her journey leads. ✨

🇳🇱 Rijmomenten als deze herinneren me eraan waarom ik zo van mijn werk houd, het voelen van de kracht, balans en het talent van een jong paard als Zarina, die met elke pas groeit.
Elke rit is een stap vooruit: verfijnen, luisteren en vertrouwen opbouwen. Het is inspirerend om haar talent zich te zien ontwikkelen in deze prachtige binnenbaan, en ik ben benieuwd waar haar reis ons brengt. ✨

Behind the calls, the travel, and the test rides, this is where so much of the work happens.
Connecting with clients across countries, reviewing horses, and ensuring every detail aligns to create that perfect match. ✨
It’s a thoughtful process, and one I truly enjoy, especially with my trusted office assistant keeping me company. 🐾
Achter de telefoontjes, de reizen en de testritten, hier gebeurt een groot deel van het werk.
In contact met klanten over de landsgrenzen heen, het beoordelen van paarden en het zorgvuldig samenbrengen van de juiste combinaties. ✨
Het is een doordacht proces, en een dat ik met veel plezier doe, zeker met mijn trouwe kantoorassistent aan mijn zijde. 🐾

Stepping into this new chapter, one stride at a time.
It’s been a full and exciting few weeks settling into the new facility and getting back into rhythm with test rides here in the Netherlands, with upcoming trips to Belgium and Germany.
Much of my time lately has been spent connecting with clients and sellers, reviewing countless horses, and searching for those truly exceptional matches, the ones that make all the miles (or kilometers) worthwhile.
This image was captured beautifully by / 📸 during our photo shoot yesterday. I’m excited to share more from this shoot and from the work taking shape in this next chapter.
🇳🇱
Een nieuw hoofdstuk, stap voor stap.
De afgelopen weken stonden in het teken van wennen aan de nieuwe locatie en het ritme hervinden met testritten hier in Nederland. Binnenkort volgen afspraken in België en Duitsland.
Een groot deel van mijn tijd gaat momenteel naar het contact met klanten en verkopers, het bekijken van talloze paarden en het zoeken naar die écht bijzondere matches, de combinaties die het allemaal de moeite waard maken.
Deze foto is gisteren genomen tijdens een fotoshoot met Wendy Bremmert / Dutch Totaal Fotografie 📸
Ik ben benieuwd naar de rest van de beelden en kijk ernaar uit om meer te delen van dit nieuwe hoofdstuk.
Thank you for making me feel welcome in this beautiful stable ❤️
Thank you for keeping my horses happy with their well fitting custom fitted saddles 😍

Wow! So proud of these two young stars 🤩 Zarina (Pzavarella) and Priapi (Priapus)!
They were absolutely fantastic today. The progress they’ve made over the past few months and especially these last few weeks is just incredible. It’s hard to believe they’re the same horses when I think back to how they were just a month ago.
I’m beyond excited for the future with these two rising stars!
Wauw! Zo trots op deze twee jonge sterren 🤩 Zarina (Pzavarella) en Priapi (Priapus)!
Ze waren vandaag echt fantastisch. De vooruitgang die ze de afgelopen maanden en vooral de laatste weken hebben geboekt, is ongelooflijk. Het is bijna niet te geloven dat het dezelfde paarden zijn als een maand geleden.
Ik kan niet wachten om te zien wat de toekomst brengt met deze opkomende sterren!

Located in Noord-Brabant, Nederlands. Available to test ride horses that are located in Europe for clients from North America, on a completely neutral no commission basis. If you find a horse you like in Europe on-line, but can’t fly to try, let me try it for you. I ride the horse, make videos of the good - the bad - and the ugly and send everything to you the client. I write a report the same day, and talk with the client on the phone. You are charged a flat half-day or full-day fee, regardless of whether you buy the horse or not, 0% commission . Alternatively, I am available to help a client search for and find their dream horse, in which case, I do work on a commission basis.
Also offering Dressage Training for horses of every age and level , starting young horses under saddle, competing horses at every level, preparation for IBOP, and dressage lessons.
I am an FEI Dressage rider, trainer and competitor . With a highly successful competition career in North America (US & Canada) and now in the Netherlands. I have earned numerous USDF Horse Of The Year awards , state, Regional and National Championship awards thru the FEI levels up to and including FEI Intermediare II , on horses of various breeds , that I trained myself. It is my goal to represent the USA in International competition some day.
Riding and dressage have been my main focus my entire life. Horses and dressage are not just my job , they are my hobby, a way of life, my passion.
Specializing in starting and training young horses through the levels to Grand Prix, backing young horses, working with “problem” horses, promoting stallions and young dressage horses , test riding sales horses in the Netherlands for American clients, and preparing horses for sale. I utilize varied terrain, cavallettie and gymnastic exercises as part of the formation of every horse.
The purpose is to optimize the natural abilities of the horse and make riding a graceful, pleasurable experience. Preparing and confirming a solid base, so their body and therefore their mind is ready, willing and confident to work at the highest levels. Reestablishing trust in horses which have been labeled “difficult” or “hard to manage” . Developing and gymnastasizing young horses to their maximum potential.
Correct classical dressage for the modern competitive sport horse . Developing trust, confidence and harmony.
