From May 13th - 16th, we are organizing a training week at the beautiful location of 'De Randhoeve' in Dordrecht, where sport and horse welfare come together. This will be English spoken.

During this training week, you will have daily lessons and work on your personal goals with your own horse. If you can’t bring your own horse and you want to work on your in-hand skills, we can provide a horse for you.

You will be immersed in my training philosophy and techniques, and you can choose to work both in-hand and under saddle according to your preference (under saddle exclusively if you bring your own horse).

My training philosophy focuses on improving posture and use of the body in motion, of your horse. At the same time, we emphasize the welfare of the horse as a 'happy athlete'.

You probably understand that factors such as friends, forage and freedom are essential for your horse to function optimally and therefore the welfare of your horse is central to my approach, and is also central at 'De Randhoeve'. I am eager to work with you and your horse if these values are also of great importance to you.

We work with a small group of participants, which means there is plenty of room for personal attention.

Do you have the ambition to become a better trainer for your horse and do you really want to work on it? Then this training week is for you.

During all training days, your horse will spend the night at 'De Randhoeve', where a paddock can be used during the day. Use of the stables and facilities is at your own risk.

Every breed and level are welcome
this week. The only conditions is that your horse is really safe to handle, both on the ground as under saddle, has no behavioral issues, and that he is 100% healthy and fit.

The most important conditions for yourself to participate are that you are motivated, open-minded, and eager to learn, and that you are also capable of handling your horse safely and well on the ground. The minimum age for participating horses is 4 years, and only geldings and mares (stallions are also welcome, but cannot go in the paddock during day-time).

The training week is held at 'De Randhoeve' (Wieldrechtse Zeedijk 4, Dordrecht). All days are provided with a delicious lunch, your horse gets a stall during the night, and during daytime you can use one of our paddocks. Sleeping arrangements for yourself are not included, although we can make recommendations if requested. Your investment in the training week is €1997,-, which you pay in advance. Payment in instalments is not possible.
