Meet The Team
My name is Carla Van der Hoeven. I was born in Belgium and then moved to England when I was 5. This is where my love for horses started. I lived in England for 13 years, spending time with my horses whenever I could! After school, I continued my study in Equine management at Hartpury College. Having completed this course, I moved to the Netherlands where I gained a degree in Physiotherapy. This is where my combined passion for horses and people started to develop. I wrote my thesis on hippotherapy (the relation of how horses can help individuals struggling with fine and gross motor skills) enabling me to realise the true magic of horses. After completing my degree, I moved to Australia where I continued to follow my passion. I undertook a course with Equine Connection in Sydney which has enabled and inspired me to open this business. I aim to follow my dreams and help each individual see the magic of working with horses.
