KNHS is also involved in various training programmes, allowing riders to further develop their skills. There are also courses available for those who want to become a coach or instructor.

Tani Joosten is a Dutch show jumping rider. She competes at a high level in show jumping. Tani comes from a true equestrian family. She has been around horses from a young age and learned a great deal from her parents. Both her parents have ridden, and her mother is an instructor. Tani says that she has learned the most by gaining experience herself.
In 2024, Tani became part of the KNHS Talent Team. That year proved to be particularly successful for Tani, as she was named KNHS Talent of the Year 2024. She competed in Abu Dhabi and Warsaw, among other places. In Warsaw, she jumped a clear round in the final with her horse Galdal Mé.
2024 was a year filled with several important competitions and memorable sporting moments for Tani. She started strongly at Jumping Amsterdam, where she achieved good results with Galdal Mé. During the Nations Cup in Hickstead, Tani showed that she can compete with the international elite. With the Dutch team, she finished second in the 1.60 meter competition.
What makes her achievements particularly impressive is that Tani competes against highly experienced international riders at a young age. A large part of her success comes from the partnership with her horses. Tani said that from the beginning she felt there was more potential in Galdal Mé and that they could continue to grow together.

Through its partnership with eventing rider Jordy Wilken, HORKA is actively involved in eventing. As a full-service supplier of products for riders, horses and stables, we also want to play an active role in eventing with our products. Jordy is a passionate eventing rider who is ambitious, down-to-earth and extremely hardworking. These are all qualities that closely match the core values of our company.
In 2015, Jordy became Dutch Young Rider Champion with Chapeau Spirit. That same year, he was part of the Dutch team that finished sixth at the European Championships in Strzegom. His development attracted a great deal of attention, including from KNHS. In 2016 and 2017, he was part of the KNHS Talent Team. Jordy also competed at Military Boekelo, one of the best-known international eventing competitions in the Netherlands. He has since developed into an experienced eventing rider and is classified at 4* level, competing at a high international level.
Jordy’s achievements are the result of years of hard work. Not only on his own development, but above all on the bond with his horses. In eventing, horse and rider must be able to rely on each other. It is precisely this partnership and the constant search for improvement that make the sport so special to Jordy.
“HORKA is truly a wonderful company. I will not soon forget our conversation at the head office in Zwolle, in the showroom. I was genuinely impressed by the wide range of products HORKA develops and sells. I am therefore very proud to represent HORKA’s name and products.”

HORKA has been sponsoring Ingeborg for several years. Ingeborg Klooster is a successful dressage rider who works with horses every day. Through the various training programmes she has completed and the experience she has gained, she started Ingeborg Klooster Dressage.
Ingeborg has trained several horses to Grand Prix level and has achieved numerous IBOP results and sport predicates. With her horses, she has successfully competed at the Dutch Championships on several occasions. She has won championships at both basic and higher competition levels. She has also been a winner at stallion shows multiple times. Ingeborg regularly rides stallions and knows exactly what to expect from them. Her speciality is understanding and training Friesian horses.
We asked Ingeborg what she believes is most important to teach her students during training. “It is very important to keep listening to your intuition. Look at your horse, feel what is happening and anticipate accordingly. This applies both to riding and to the care surrounding it. A lot is said in books, videos and clinics, and you can take this into consideration. Make sure your horse gets turnout and variety in its work. This keeps your horse fresh and balanced.”
