We are Mathijs Dekker and Milou Aten, a dedicated and experienced duo who have been passionately involved in the world of horses and equestrian sports our entire lives. Mathijs specializes in showjumping horses, while Milou has more experience in dressage and focuses on sports- psychology training and coaching for riders.<\/p>

Together, we form a powerful, dedicated team with knowledge and skills in training, education, sales, instruction, and breeding within the equestrian industry.<\/p>

With our business model, we aim to create an environment of trust, health, and growth for both horses and people, where passion and expertise come together, resulting in sustainable success and long-lasting relationships with our clients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

“Throughout my career, I\u2019ve built a strong international client network. I focus on sales, training, education, and providing service to clients worldwide. My experience allows me to conduct clinics and find new horses that meet our clients’ specific needs.<\/p>

Additionally, I am actively involved in breeding. We have exceptional mare lines, and breed quality foals ourselves. I also offer assistance, guidance and advice to clients who entrust their breeding operations to us.\u00a0 This allows clients to enjoy breeding their next champion without the challenges of running their own breeding operation.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

“In addition to my work in the equestrian world and my involvement in dressage, I have distinguished myself as a psychologist and hypnotherapist. With my knowledge and expertise, I coach and support people in my own practice, which adds significant value to our business. I have witnessed firsthand how the right mindset and guidance are essential for riders in achieving top-level performance.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our vision is to run a high-quality business where sport, trade, breeding, and mental support come together, all aimed at achieving optimal (sport) performance for both horse and rider.<\/p>

With a broad collective expertise in equestrian sports, trade, training, and psychology, we aim to be a high-quality and reliable partner. We strive to breed healthy, high-quality sport horses and raise and develop them into healthy, well-adjusted, and talented horses that are capable of achieving top performances for their future owners. Our goal is to set an example of responsible and risk-reducing horse management, with the well-being of the horse being our top priority.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
