What we do
Foal to Grand Prix, under one roof. The Van Esch family breeds Dutch dressage horses from its own mare line, and Petra van Esch brings them along herself, all the way to the top of the sport. The farm is minutes from 's-Hertogenbosch, home of the KWPN Stallion Show and The Dutch Masters.
Breeding
Young horses from our own Nelinora mare line, bred to proven dressage stallions. The same mare family produced three Grand Prix horses.
Training
From the first rides to Grand Prix, built on a correct, classical foundation. Petra trains the family's own horses and horses for owners.
Lessons & clinics
Coaching for riders and horse-and-rider partnerships who want to move up through the levels toward Prix St. Georges and beyond.
Sales
Sport horses we bred and trained ourselves, presented with a straight, honest picture of the horse and where it is in its training. Because we know every horse from birth, there are no surprises.
Buying from the United States
Many American riders buy their next horse in the Netherlands, and the process is more straightforward than it sounds. It usually starts with a conversation and video, then a visit to the farm to ride the horse, a pre-purchase exam with the veterinarian of your choice, and transport home with a professional shipper. We're happy to walk you through each step.
