Breeding
 

Breeding is at the heart of what we do. It started from my passion for producing young horses and from the fascination of turning raw talent into a future Grand Prix horse.

​

There is something truly special about entering the arena with the speaker announcing “ridden, owned and bred by Karen Oris.” Knowing a horse from the moment it is born, and knowing its dam and previous generations, creates a unique connection and understanding. It makes the journey of producing our horses even more meaningful.

We prefer to breed from mares that have proven themselves in sport at the highest level. As a rider myself, I have had the opportunity to compete with several of our mares up to international Grand Prix level. This gives us an in-depth understanding of their qualities, character, strengths and weaknesses.

​

Knowing our mares inside out allows us to make thoughtful choices when selecting a stallion and to look for the combination that we believe can produce the next generation of exceptional sport horses.

Coaching 
 

My passion for coaching started at a young age. At 15, I began helping at a local stable, where I trained horses and helped young riders with their ponies. This is where I discovered my passion for teaching. Over the years, I have continued to develop my coaching skills through my own training and by working with a wide variety of horses and riders.

As a qualified teacher, I also bring a strong educational background to my coaching, with a focus on clear communication and structured learning.

Today, I specialise in coaching juniors and young riders competing at national and international level. My coaching focuses on the technical aspects of riding, while always working on the development of both horse and rider as a team.

Producing

​

Our passion for breeding has always gone hand in hand with producing our own horses. Over the years, this has given us extensive experience in developing young horses from their first steps under saddle to international competition.

Through years of riding, training and competing, we have built a strong network of international contacts and gained valuable insight into the different levels of the sport.

Today, we use this experience to produce both our own horses and horses for owners, developing each horse according to its individual qualities, character and ambitions.
