Welcome to the very heart of Holland, exactly in the middle of the Netherlands in the small town of Lunteren. Here is the dressage training centre Van Silfhout.

Alex van Silfhout and his wife Jannet run one of Holland’s most prestigious training centres with the help of son Diederik and daughter Jarissa.

Here Grand Prix A-selection rider Alex and Grand Prix and European Junior and Young Rider gold medallist Diederik train horses and riders from all over Europe. The organization is in the capable hands of Jannet, who also manages the accounts, the staff, the grounds and competition entries. Jarissa is in college studying administration and international communication.

It is a real family business which has been expanding in the last few years to the point where it has now reached its full potential. It specializes in the training of horses and riders from novice to Grand Prix. Whether you wish to train with your horse or have your horse brought on to any level of competition, providing it has the ability to do so, it can be taken to the top.
