Our Horses
Eursinge Stables tries to breed a good sport horse (dressage). We will encourage our horses to compete during horse shows, either with our rider Karin Bretz, or if sold, by there new owners.
A good sport horse is a healthy, willingly, good looking horse with a good walk, trot and canter and is probably well looking also. We always try to find the best matching stallion for our mare(s). We try to compensate (or better, to improve) the weaker parts of the mare by the stronger parts of the stallion.
Before we make a final decision about which stallion to choose, we try to see several foals or young offspring. We visit also a lot of stallion shows and study their pedigree so we can make a decision based on the proper statistics or the best arguments.
Fertility
Once we made our choice regarding the stallion, it takes good management to get the mare(s) pregnant. We always use the people at Hein Peeters' stallion station in Diever. They can provide us with seamen of any stallion we want to use. Our veterinarian Geert Weggemans is during the season also 3 times a week available at this station to inspect the mare(s).
Sport condition
To keep our horses in a good, healthy condition we use several specialists. So do we visit on a regular base Drs. Gerrie van Oossanen, a horse physiotherapist who works close with the Utrecht University for Animals.
Our farrier Sander van den Berg keeps our horses feet in the right condition. If necessary he can also make special horse shoes.
