Your coach, always just a message away
Your development as a rider doesn’t stop with your regular lessons. Sometimes you want a different perspective, a deeper understanding of a specific topic or advice from someone with different expertise.
No traveltime, no need to book an extra lesson, and accessible wherever in the world you ride.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
Whether you’re contacting me for the first time or have already had a personal riding analysis with me, questions can always come up when you’re riding.
Maybe you’re struggling with something you can’t quite figure out on your own. You want to understand why something isn’t working, you’re unsure about your position and seat, or you’re looking for practical tips to help you move forward. Or perhaps you’ve already started putting my advice into practice and new questions come up along the way.
Not every question requires an in-depth analysis or another lesson. Sometimes, all you need is a little extra explanation, a fresh perspective or someone to think things through with you.
Simply via WhatsApp
Through WhatsApp, you can easily access my knowledge and experience, even when you can’t have lessons with me in person.
Ask short questions about your position, seat, riding aids, movement or training. Ask for further explanation or share a photo or short video when it helps me understand your question.
I’ll think things through with you and help you understand what you’re feeling, seeing or trying to improve. No generic textbook answers, but personal guidance based on my expertise in rider position, seat and biomechanics.
Whether you’re training at home, have questions

Your coach Myrte
I particularly enjoy training young horses, especially Friesians, but you’ll also find me competing in dressage.
I don’t believe in one standard picture of how a horse should be trained. I might start in the arena, but if a horse struggles to think forward, I’ll take him out to the forrest. I often introduce lateral movements from the ground, and if I really want to know whether my horse straight and in balance, I take him into the open fields.
Not just because it’s fun to do something different from arena training, but because every training environment has something to offer. Ultimately, they all share the same goal: helping the horse develop as well as possible under saddle.
Good training starts with the rider
Because if your position in the saddle isn’t effective, you can’t clearly communicate what you’re asking of your horse. Your posture, balance and movement directly influence the aids you give and how your horse responds to them.
This is where my background as a sports instructor comes in. I don’t just look at what goes wrong when you ride, but also at what’s happening in your body as a rider. Where does a problem come from? What do you need to be able to do things differently? And how do we translate that into better riding and more effective training for your horse?
From boots in the sand to online coaching.
I started sharing more of my knowledge and vision online: honest, accessible training for both horse and rider. It turned out there was a real demand for it. Today, Dutch Equestrian has grown into a community of almost 150,000 followers across different platforms.
But sharing knowledge is one thing. Guiding you personally is another.
That’s why I created this online coaching platform. Not another training programme filled with random exercises, but personal coaching tailored to the challenges you face.
Whether you want to improve your posture and seat, work through a technical riding issue, learn to train more effectively, or simply have an extra pair of eyes during your training.
I’ll watch, think and work things through with you, helping you understand what’s happening so that, over time, you can continue developing with greater confidence and independence.
