Jos Lansink

My name is Jos Lansink and I was born in Weerselo, in the Netherlands.

My passion for horses began in early childhood, as we had ponies on our family farm. I worked at Stal De Wiemselbach and for Zangersheide, and in 2004 I started my own business. My greatest successes include a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Barcelona, victory in the World Cup Final, and a gold medal at the World Championships.

In daily life, I ride horses at my stable in Belgium. I also guide the riders who compete on horses for me, both at home and at shows. I train young talents from the Young Riders Academy and the CHIO Aachen Academy, and I coach professional riders who compete at the highest level.

Horses are my passion, and I have been fortunate enough to turn my hobby into my profession. Together with my team, I aim to develop young horses to a higher level. We follow a step-by-step approach, allowing them to grow gradually in their work. Alongside training sessions and forest rides, all horses get a few hours of turnout every day. I consider this very important: it lets them move freely in the pasture or paddock and keeps them happy.

At my stable, there are usually around 50 horses. The young horses I have bred myself are raised at our rearing facility. They are backed at around four years old and come to my stable when they are six or seven.

Hartog Lucerne Plus is an essential forage product for my horses. The quality is high and consistent, and it is a perfect addition to the daily ration. My horses look good and feel good on it, and that shows in their work. I can recommend it to amateurs and professionals alike. Our partnership has lasted for more than 30 years, which says a lot about the quality and my experience with Hartog Lucerne Plus.

I am active on Instagram and Facebook, where I like to share the successes of the horses and riders. Now and then, we post videos from the stable to give followers a glimpse into daily stable life.
