Harriet Cooper Sport Horses Netherlands

At Harriet Cooper Sport Horses, we are committed to sourcing and developing horses that meet the specific needs and expectations of our clients.

After a successful career with ponies, my passion has always been to train young horses to compete at the highest level in showjumping. As the sport continues to evolve, it has become increasingly challenging for both horse and rider, which makes it essential to have a horse with outstanding talent and ability beneath us.

My philosophy centers on putting the horses first. Ensuring they are fit, healthy, and well-cared for is crucial to our success. Just like humans, horses give their best when they feel appreciated and are treated with respect. I believe in taking the time to allow each horse to develop at its own pace. I create personalized training programs for each one, recognizing them as unique individuals. Horses thrive on routine, and providing a consistent environment helps them perform at their best. Achieving success in the ring requires us to appreciate the value and fragility of these incredible animals, while also building trust and teamwork with them.

Showjumping is both a mental and physical challenge, demanding hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn from setbacks. Each mistake is an opportunity for improvement, and perseverance is key.

While my primary focus is on training horses, I also enjoy finding and developing ponies for the rising stars of tomorrow. My goal is to provide young riders with smaller versions of our top-quality horses, helping them build a strong foundation for their future success.
