Location Oud Gastel We have several young horses, these are trained by Daniël. We also have some older horses, these are trained by Kim.
Training according to level The training of all the horses is always aimed at a healthy, animal-friendly development. The physical, but also mental, level of which the horse is capable, is always taken into consideration. If sometimes more time is needed, then that is no problem for us. A suitable new owner will be found eventually – sometimes more quickly than other times.
Kim Schmid Kim is a Grand Prix rider who competes at international-level with the horse PharmaHorse Theodoor. Theo (Metall x Purioso) has been trained by Kim from a four-year-old, backed, bay roan into the beautiful grey Grand Prix eye-catcher that he now is. Another horse has also been trained by Kim from B-level to Grand Prix-level: Apart. This Florencio offspring has been sold.
Kim has had some good results with Theodoor over the years. Bronze at the National Dressage Championships at Z2-level, an educational time with the Young Riders, followed by the move to U25 in 2012. During the last year that the combination was able to compete in the U25, Theo and Kim won silver at the Dutch Championships (2015) before moving up to Grand Prix-level where they have also been very successful.
Daniël Mosterdijk Daniël mainly does the buying and selling within the company. In addition, Daniël trains all the young horses. As soon as they can be nicely ridden by a new owner and have a good walk, trot and canter they are sold. Advice regarding the qualities and character of a horse is part of the sale.
