Horses & Heritage Tours

In tailor-made excursions for your family and friends, your club, company or your student group I invite horse lovers and culture enthusiasts

to discover the world of the European State Studs and other places of hippological and cultural significance.

Through my activities as manager of the European State Studs Association I have extensive knowledge of the European stud landscape

and would be delighted to open the gates of the most prestigious horse breeding institutions for you!
