I’m a 37 year old Dutch dressage coach and rider (part time). I also work 20 hours per week for a Dutch company in Melbourne as a Corporate Services Manager and I recently completed my Master of Business in Sport Management. I’ve been involved with horses all my life and I was very fortunate to ride excellent schoolmasters, and train with amazing dressage coaches in the Netherlands. I competed every weekend and was very involved in a fantastic breeding stable back in the Netherlands. In 2010 I decided to take a break from the horses to focus on my Marketing and Event Management business. In 2012 I relocated to Australia to complete my Master of Business in Sport Management at Deakin University and gain international work experience in sport marketing and event management. Once in Australia one thing led to another and I currently coach a selective group of very keen dressage riders (private lessons), I train their horses when required, and I'm a regular coach at four fantastic clubs.
