Services
THIS IS WHAT WE DO
BREEDING
Every year the Van Straaten family breeds around 25 foals from several prominent damlines. The strict selection based on health, attitude and quality, generates fruitful results.
SPORT
Because the homebred horses are also trained up to international level by the Van Straaten family themselves, there is a lot of insight into the attitude, quality and hardness of these horses.
ADVICE & SALES
Another continuous factor is the sale of all colt every year. And when there are enough mares to continue breeding with, the fillies will also be offered for sale.
RIDING COMPANY
