In August 2023, we picked up Billie from Den Oever Stables in Kontich. Billie is exactly what I was looking for for my daughter: a sweet, reliable horse. We are very happy with how the purchase went. An Verlinden was very helpful in deciding who Billie would ultimately go to. We are very grateful for this.

"When we bought a five-year-old horse for our daughter, we knew it was a bit unsure around other horses. It came from a private stable where it had always ridden alone in the arena. Once we arrived at our busy riding school, however, the problem turned out to be much more serious than we had initially thought.

Despite several months of three private lessons a week, our daughter was unable to ride the horse on her own. The situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, both for her and for the other riders. Eventually, our instructor told us that the problem was too serious and that we'd be better off selling the horse. We were at a loss. How could we sell a horse with such problems?

Fortunately, through the owner of our riding school, we got in touch with An and Lara from Den Oever Stables. Lara came to evaluate our horse and immediately indicated that she believed the problem could be resolved. From that moment on, a process began that completely exceeded our expectations.

With an impressive combination of expertise, horsemanship, patience, and a genuine love for horses, we saw a clear improvement after just a few weeks. My daughter took weekly lessons, and step by step, the horse's confidence grew. After a little over three months, he was almost completely free of his fears.

Since the horse was still very young and my daughter lacked some experience, we ultimately decided to sell it after all. An provided us with fantastic guidance throughout this process as well.

Thanks to their dedication and expertise, our horse found a wonderful new home in Taiwan, where it is now living a wonderful life. We are incredibly grateful to An and Lara for their professional guidance, their honest advice, and the exceptional care with which they support both the horse and the owner. We can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Den Oever Stables to anyone looking for expert guidance and an approach that always puts the horse's well-being first."
