For someone who doesn’t know you, how would you describe yourself?

– I would describe myself as a passionate, social, and honest person with a deep love for animals and a strong drive to keep improving in everything I do.

Can you tell us how your journey in equestrian sport began and what drew you to show jumping?

– Horses have always been a part of my life. My father, who competed at a high level himself and ran his own stables, introduced me to the sport at a very young age. Growing up surrounded by horses, it felt only natural for me to follow the same path, and that’s how my journey in show jumping began.

Tell us a bit about the stables where you’re located today.

– Recently, we moved to our new stables in Eefde. It’s a wonderful place where our horses have the space to truly be horses, with plenty of turnout and direct access to the forest. At the same time, we have all the facilities we need to train them at the highest level, which makes it the perfect environment to combine sport, training, and wellbeing.

Could you elaborate on your interest in breeding and training young horses?

– Breeding and producing young horses is something very special to me. To see your own foals grow up and recognize their unique qualities is incredibly rewarding. I love watching how quickly they develop, but it also teaches you patience and respect for the process. Every horse grows at its own pace, and guiding them step by step into becoming a successful sport horse is something I truly enjoy.

What does a typical training day look like for you and your horses?

– A typical day in the stables starts early. At 07:00, the horses get hay, followed by grain at 07:30. Training usually begins around 08:00. All horses go out of their stables at least twice a day, spending time in the field and having a training session, whether that’s riding, lunging, or hacking in the forest. At noon, they get their next feed, and we take a lunch break ourselves, before continuing the afternoon sessions. At 14:30, they get hay again, at 17:00 another feed, and finally a late-night check at 21:30 with hay. It’s a busy routine, but one that keeps the horses happy and in top shape.

What are your long-term goals as a show jumper?

– Looking ahead, my long-term goal is to compete at the highest level of the sport and to represent my country with strong results. Alongside that, I hope to continue breeding and producing young horses, and to sell them on to good riders where they can also grow and shine in the top sport.

Which achievement so far are you most proud of in your career?

– So far, there are a few achievements I’m especially proud of: becoming Dutch Champion with the Young Riders, winning the 3* big class in Eindhoven, and competing in my first 1.60m Grand Prix at my hometown show Jumping Amsterdam with a horse I produced myself to this level. That was an unforgettable moment.

What advice would you give to young riders who dream of one day competing at your level?

– To young riders who dream of reaching this level, my advice would be not to lose confidence in yourself during the ups and downs. Setbacks are part of the journey, but it’s essential to set new goals and move forward from them. Stay close to the bond and feeling you have with your horse, listen to it, and don’t rush the process even if it feels tempting at times. Give both yourself and your horse the time you need.

What does it mean to you to become part of the Maya Delorez athlete team?

– Becoming part of the Maya Delorez athlete team means a lot to me. I feel honored and supported by the products you provide. Not only do they ensure comfort and style for me and my horses, but they also give me the confidence to perform at my best. I hope to represent the MD team as strongly as possible.

Do you have a favorite MD product you always rely on when training or competing?

– If I had to choose one product, it would be the gloves. Both summer and winter versions are incredibly comfortable and provide excellent grip, allowing me to always stay in close contact with my horse, no matter the weather.
