Michel Haelterman caught the ‘horse bug’ at a young age. It started with a horse he received from his parents. “That quickly grew into a combination of sports and some trading. In the end, I kept the good mares to use for breeding!”

“At a certain point, I started developing our infrastructure because our equestrian activities had also increased. So much so that at one point, I had riders in my employ,” says Michel.

Eventually, the best moment is now, where son Damien Haelterman and father Michel Haelterman actively manage the sport and trade. Daughter Stephanie Haelterman is also passionate and driven in the sport.

“It’s always nice when you can share a passion with your family!”
