"Dreams are dreamt for a reason … you are the creator of your own destiny ... just follow your heart."
Van Doren Show Jumping from its beginning wanted to educate individuals to excel in the field of equestrian sports. Each year Van Doren Show Jumping takes on four new rider/horse/owner combinations to train and specialize in a jumping area suited to both horse and rider. The skills in horsemanship you learn can be applied to all facets in riding ... competition paced or just pure enjoyment. Being able to understand and use the potential that is locked up inside of you with the utmost trust, understanding and applied knowledge, together with basic sound principals in classical horsemanship, lays the foundation of Van Doren philosophy. Our goal is to produce top-class athletes in both horse and rider to compete nationally and internationally all over the world as well as being ambassadorial custodians to our faithful friends that give us so much and expect very little in return!
Training includes all the the following aspects, basic riding, horsemanship, rider education, horse education, buying and selling your horse, essential and advanced flatwork, communication, dressage for jumping, equitation, hunters, cross-country and natural jumps, gymnastic exercises and advanced jumping techniques, show preparation, understanding courses - Hunter, Equitation and Jumper and mental connectiveness in keeping it all together.
We are always looking for ways that will make our students successful and eradicate those elements which hinder progress. Being successful has one common feature and that is good basics of riding. Natural talent goes a long way but can’t make up for knowledge and skills you learn, but put it all together with passion, desire, commitment and mastery you will undoubtedly achieve your dreams.
If you are a casual and social rider, we of course do that too!
If you are or can’t relocate to our facilities, buy our products when they are available as this the very substance that goes back into the sport to give it’s rich heritage and texture.
