The Way We Educate Horses.
Inviting a Horse into a Versatile World
We invite horses into a close collaboration with human beings. We start a dialogue based on a close connection and the challenge ahead of us. The common challenge of the horse... and the human being. Indeed, the horse is never left alone:, we see all learnings as 'common projects'; this approach creates a bond. Already in an early stage, the horse gets confident in having faith in his human partner.

Lola has a natural connection with horses and the innate gift of a remarkable balance. From her first pony up to her many victories in the arena, the horses she's starting and working on the ranch... it has always been a remarkably consistent ride for such a young lady.
Nonetheless, her achievements are spectacular, she emphasizes the family approach; 'It's all teamwork'.

The open mind of the horse as A True Partner
A Wide Variety of Horizons Beyond Borders.
We offer our horses a wide variety of experiences. Ranch work, family recreation, and traveling beyond borders and boundaries; as far as it takes to set high standards in... mainly equine team sports like team sorting, penning, etc.
Indeed, we strive for a balanced mindset with common goals. Team sport, just like for human beings, requires interaction, compromises, and forgiveness.

The Affection that makes the Difference.
From a Horse's Perspective.
Christel de Wette. – A horse is a flight animal that we welcome in a peoples' world. If we can succeed in assuring the horse that we will take care of all possible life-threatening events, in an alliance of trust and collaboration, we succeed in all that's training all about. Trust and collaboration in return for life-saving care. There are many ways to train horses, and we have developed ours: it's a process driven by love. Love is a 'do-it-word'; it includes at least protection and care. Christel de Wette is both; the one who convinces by putting love into action and... and at the same time she is the horse's greatest advocate I've ever met.
