Training & instruction: varied program

Marriët has held the Orun Certificate since 2009. Besides jumping instruction, she is also active as a coach at competitions. Her biggest coaching success is obtaining the Olympic Qualification with the Chinese rider Moadonog Yuan. He also managed to qualify for 5* Global competition in Shanghai under Marriet’s guidance.

Marriet teaches mostly private lessons. It is also possible to follow an in-house training program. Please contact us for the possibilities.

Herman Smit has held his Orun Certificate since 2016. He gives instruction to various associations, as well as private lessons and accompaniment at competitions.

SH Sporthorses has a large outdoor arena (75m x 36m) with a full course and premium footing by Zorgdrager Manegebodems. An indoor arena (25m x 45m) with the same high-quality surface by Zorgdrager is currently under development. The facility also includes a ditch, water jump, and hill to add variety to the training.
