Bart’s passion for horses and riding started at a young age, and he discovered historical and classical dressage in 2016. He has studied with some of the most established and celebrated instructors throughout his education, receiving instruction from e.g. Bent Branderup, Arne Koets, and Christofer Dahlgren. He also spent half a year with Arne Koets and Jossy Reynvoet, where he received daily mentoring, gaining a thorough understanding of all aspects of high school equitation. In his teaching he additionally draws from his experience about learning processes and stress acquired during his master’s and PhD studies in psychology and neuroscience. Since then Bart has focused on teaching historical dressage through international clinics and lessons locally.
