If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you<\/p>

BUT if you are determined to learn, no one can stop you!<\/p>

As a child I couldn’t stop talking about horses and ponies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My job is my passion and that’s a dream come true. When I was young, I was always attracted to those ‘difficult’ horses. It was a challenge and I wanted to understand why they were behaving in a certain way. I started questioning the ‘normal’ methodes and started learning more about ‘horsemanship’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together sport and horsemanship techniques creates a nice balance between the mental and physical training. Today, HORSEMANSHIP, SPORT en SCIENCE are inseparable<\/strong> for me. Equitation science teaches about learning principles, horse welfare and behaviour and makes us a better trainer and horse owner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2005-2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2005 I subscribed for a full-time Horsemanship program at ‘Haras de La Cense’ in France.<\/strong> Famous horsemen: Andy Booth, Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, a.o. were some of our teachers and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During 2,5 years we learned everything about horses behaviour, welfare, learning principles, teaching, management\u2026 We had theoretical as well as practical courses: horsemanship, classical riding, dressage, jumping, eventing and western\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training young horses in Montana<\/strong>, US, during one year, was part of this great program. 200 young horses for 10 students: groundwork, foundation training with the 2 year olds, building trust and starting the 3 year olds and refine the training of the 4 and 5 year olds. This was a unique learning opportunity. What I have learned in Montana is very valuable and I still use it in my daily training and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2008-2010<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the La Cense program, I worked in Pompadour<\/strong>, France, for 2 years. I was responsible for developing the horsemanship lessons and clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2011-now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work as a training and behaviour consultant<\/strong>, in Belgium and abroad. I want to help horses and owners to better understand each other, so they can enjoy being together, at home, on a competition, in the forest or at the beach…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eager to learn, I’m always looking for more scientific research. This brought me to ‘Equitation Science International’ and the annual ISEScongressen<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I studied the ESI program and graduated in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s a pleasure to share this knowledge with you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
