It’s an opportunity to give more people access to some of the world’s most knowledgeable horsemen and women, in a welcoming and congenial atmosphere of sharing knowledge and growing as an organization. So, please, if you have any interest in Dutch horses or horses in general, at any level of experience or exposure, come! “We welcome you, we will share good food, good friends, and good horses. It’s going to a great weekend, one not to be missed,” says Scot.

There is no entrance fee for this event. We do welcome sponsors to contribute to the costs for the speakers, riders, food/ drinks etc. You can advertise your business during the meeting in return with banners/ flyers and social media exposure.
