RS stables is a breeding/training/sales facility. It
is owned by Annemiek Raaijmakers and her partner Rob Schaap. Annemiek has a
very succesfull carreer in the Dutch Dressage Scene. She won numerous Dutch
Championships and international shows. She started teaching at 16, and has
been judging since 21! We decided to start our own breeding program focused
on breeding the horse that has it all, gorgeous, a super workable mind and topquality
movements. Annemiek attends breeding
and dressage shows to find the best horses and to keep educating herself in
all Dutch and German bloodlines. On the right is our 4 year old stallion
Victory RS by Gribaldi, winning the monster score of 78% in the prestigeous
PAVO cup. We bought him as a 2 day old
foal and also have his mother in our breeding program now. |

Annemiek has been instructing dressage since she was
16 years. Because of her lessons with the various teachers she created a
style in which the basics are extremely important. The horse needs to be
quickly responding to small aids, being supple and bendable, light on the
bit, well responsive to the calfs. You have to be able to collect and extend
as often as you want, without hesitation. She is also a firm believer that
horses have to be happy in their work. Annemiek always tries to teach
her students to understand their horse better and create a better
understanding. Annemiek believes that many problems are the result of
miscommunications between horse and rider. Being calm, clear and constistant
is the key. Annemiek has a very enthousiastic approach. |
