I grew up with horses in my backyard. For me, horsemanship is not just a profession – it’s a way of life, rooted in respect, trust, and authenticity.
My journey
Childhood & Family Legacy
Born into an equestrian family, I grew up in my father’s stables, where he trained young horses up to the 5-star level.
National Team
As a teenager, I competed at the highest level, joining the Belgian national team.
International Experience
At 18, I trained with two Olympic riders in the Netherlands and England, learning diverse methods and refining my horsemanship.
Today
I combine this professional background with my personal philosophy: a respectful, trust-based approach to young horses and problematic horses.
Breaking-in a young horse is a magical moment – a first impression that lasts a lifetime. My philosophy is simple: respect the horse’s rhythm, build trust step by step, and never impose what he is not ready to accept. This is not about domination, but about creating a dialogue between two species – a prey and a predator – and turning it into a partnership.
My philosophy
Values and legacy
My father passed on to me not only his expertise, but also a mindset: ‘When you think you know, you must unlearn.’ This humility, this idea of being a lifelong student of horses, guides me every day. Horses are my greatest teachers, and I believe they can also teach their owners powerful lessons about themselves.
Today
Today, I specialize in starting young horses and helping problem horses regain trust. I offer a premium, personalized service where every horse is treated with patience, respect, and professionalism. My mission is to ensure that the first experiences of a horse with humans are positive, setting the foundation for a lifetime of trust and partnership.
If you are looking for a respectful, professional approach to start your horse or rebuild trust, I’d be glad to help.
