THIS IS WHAT WE DO

SERVICES

The Van Straaten family is involved in several facets of equestrian sport, which visibly reinforce each other. In addition to the well-known show jumping breeding, also trade and training are important elements of this family business.

 

Only the best mares

It is possible to train in Den Ham for both short and long periods. A possibility that is also widely used from abroad and often the own, carefully bred horses are used to serve as a schoolmaster. Horses from the own breeding farm are also used at the De Hazelhorst riding school to teach young and old the principles of equestrian sport. For more information about Van Straaten’s riding company, please visit www.hazelhorst.nl.

 

Advice & sales

Not only in terms of sport and training but also in terms of breeding there is much to learn -on the farm- from the Van Straaten family. Fred Sr. is therefore available for breeding lessons in various forms. Interested? Please feel free to contact us.

Son Fred Jr. van Straaten is also independently involved in show jumping as a rider, trainer and trader within the family business. The developments of Fred van Straaten Sport Stables can be followed on Facebook and FvS Sport Stables’s own app.

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

The Hazelhorst is located between Den Ham and Ommen, in the most beautiful forests of Overijssel. The Hazelhorst is a combination of riding farm, equestrian camps, breeding and bed & breakfast.
