KAREN ORIS
breeder, rider & coach

I started riding at a young age even though my family had nothing to do with horses. I always knew I really wanted to make a profession out of it. I bought my own horse from the wage I had from a summer job when I was 15 and I started breeding when I was 16. Every year my passion for horses and showjumping grew and from breeding 1 horse every year, we grew to at this point 6-10 foals a year.

Because I had to make sure everything got payed I had a job after school I loved teaching young riders on several days a week. There my passion for coaching grew. 

At this point I am proud to say I started from scratch and build my own stable OK Stables in Lille (Belgium) where we produce our own bred horses and horses for owners besides coaching other riders on international level.

My proudest moments so for must have been riding my own bred 9yo gelding Inu Onu D'or in the 4* 1m55 GP in Sentower, my own bred mare Mali D'or's winning rounds on international 2 and 3* level and that I won best female Belgian rider in the Gold and Diamond GP 2023 which classified me as one of the few female riders for the BC outdoor at World championships Lanaken and indoor BC Jumping Mechelen 2023.
