About Us

At Van Delden Equestrian, we believe great horsemanship is built on patience, understanding, and correct foundations. Our approach focuses on developing confident, willing horses and balanced, thoughtful riders through calm, consistent training.

We offer a supportive environment where horses and riders of all ages and experience levels can learn and progress together. Whether you are starting your riding journey, refining your flatwork, or building a deeper connection through groundwork, our focus remains on clear communication, horse welfare, and long-term development.

Set in a peaceful rural setting, Van Delden Equestrian is a place where learning is encouraged, individuality is respected, and partnerships between horse and human are given the time they deserve.
