Philosophy

 

From the joy of horses and the enthusiasm and passion to observe and accompany the development of our foals up to the riding horse, DVI Dressage was created with the purpose to develop a self-supporting dressage breeding and sports stud.

Our goal exist in breeding healthy, high-quality dressage horses from proven mare lines, which are rideable, willing to perform, strong in character and pleasant to deal with. DVI Dressage uses proven stallions who give a certain warranty for quality but also young and promising stallions to build the foundation of a modern, high performing stud.

We – DVI Dressage breeding and sports farm – stand for classic horsemanship. We give the horses time to develop in line with their age. And we take the time to promote their natural inclinations, without using force. Only in this way do the horses become partners for the humans, remain healthy and are they able to perform to a great age

DVI dressage stands for quality over quantity. From foal to happy athlete by experienced and enthusiastic people around them.

Modern insights combined with experience sets the basis for us to continually improve and put maximum effort into the welfare of our animals. Maximum outdoor free movement with social contact, learning the basic skills from the psyche in our foals and young horses (halter, footing, transport, showering, …), quality food and water always available, … are only a few of the pillars of our operation.

Meet The DVI Dressage Team

DVI Dressage is a cooperation of two friends, Joni De Vos and Marc Van Ingelgem. Two passionate horsemen who are connected with horses as long as they can remember. Both of us are mesmerized by the elegance  of the dressage sport and are keen on breeding these wonderful animals. 

We are supported by a great and experienced team of horsemen to help us prepare the horses for the dressage sport.

After breeding on our own for several years we decided that it was better to cooperate and improvise collectively to achieve better and faster results in the most sustainable way.
