Dream as you will live forever…! ✨

(Tijdelijke) stop op interne training

Zoals jullie misschien gemerkt hebben is het een tijdje stil geweest op de pagina van Back on Trail 🤐 Ik heb het afgelopen jaar de keuze gemaakt op mijn bedrijf niet meer voort te zetten op het bedrijf van een ander.

Een paard in training brengt veel verantwoordelijkheden met zich mee. Het is best een uitdaging om een plek te vinden die voldoet aan de juiste welzijns- en trainingsomstandigheden voor de paarden, daarnaast financieel gezien haalbaar is en verder voor mezelf ook nog een beetje in de buurt.
Ik merk dat er bij mezelf de behoefte is ontstaan om dit op een plek te kunnen doen waar ik zelf keuzes kan maken die passen bij de missie en visie van Back on Trail 🐴💓

We hebben het afgelopen jaar 1,7 hectare land met bedrijfswoning gekocht op de Veluwe. Een prachtig plekje aan de rand van het bos, groot genoeg om paarden te houden 🥰🐴 Alleen kan dat op dit moment bedrijfstechnisch nog niet i.v.m. het huidige bestemmingsplan. De focus van Back on Trail ligt daarom de komende tijd op het schrijven van een plan met als doel het bestemmingsplan te wijzigen zodat we hier een paardenparadijsje kunnen maken voor trainingspaarden en opvangpaarden (trauma-blessure). Verder bestaat het idee om een aantal Bed & Breakfast plekjes te creëren waarbij het mogelijk is om je eigen paard mee te nemen voor training/vakantie/buitenritten 🤠

Het werken met de paarden ligt ontzettend dicht bij mijn hart 💞 Ik voel me heel dankbaar dat ik de afgelopen jaren met zoveel verschillende paarden heb mogen werken. Ik hoop dan ook snel weer verder te kunnen met Back on Trail 🤞 Ik geloof dat alles gebeurt op het juiste moment en de juiste plaats 😇 Al moet ik eerlijk bekennen dat ik af en toe mijn ongeduldige geest tot kalmte moet manen 🤪 Dieren zijn gewoon zo bijzonder!!💖 En ik mis de paarden heel erg!

Mochten jullie tips en ideeën hebben op het gebied van bestemmingsplan wijzigen stuur me dan gerust een PB!! Ook tips over hoe we in kunnen zetten op het vergoten van de biodiversiteit op het stuk land (vleermuiskasten, paddenpoel, gebruik van natuurlijke materialen, bloemen- en kruidenwei voor de paarden enz) zijn heel erg welkom!! 🙏💓

(Temporary) stop for horses in training

As you may have noticed, it has been a bit quiet on the Back on Trail page for a while 🤐 Last year I made the choice not to continue my business on the business property of someone else.

A horse in training comes with a lot of responsibilities. It is quite a challenge to find a place that meets the right welfare and training conditions for the horses, is also financially practicable and not too far from home. I would like to work with the horses in a place where I can make choices that fit the mission and vision of Back on Trail 🐴💓

Last year we purchased 1.7 hectares of land with a wooden cottage at the Veluwe. A beautiful place on the edge of the forest, large enough to keep horses🥰🐴 However, this is not yet possible from a business point of view due to the current zoning plan. The focus of Back on Trail will therefor currently be on writing a plan with the aim of changing the zoning plan so we can create a horse paradise for training horses and shelter horses (trauma/injury). We also have the idea of creating some B&B places where it's also possible to bring you horse for training/holiday/trailrides 🤠

Working with horses feels so close to my heart 💞 I feel very grateful that I have been able to work with so many different horses the last years. I hope to be able to continue with Back on Trail again soon! 🤞 I believe that everything happens at the right time and the right place 😇 Although I must honestly admit that I sometimes have to calm my impatient mind 🤪 Animals are just SO special to me!!💖And I miss the horses a lot.

If you have any tips or ideas regarding zoning plan changes, please send me a PM! 🙏 Tips on how we can increase biodiversity on the property (horses for bats, a toad pool, the use of natural materials flower and herb meadow for the horses etc) are also very welcome!! 🙏💓

"Cause everything will change when you open your eyes. Don't you let the sunlight go by without you. Don't you realize how lucky we are. Open up your heart! Live your life like it was running out. Be alive we gotta scream it out. Nobody's holding you back, you gotta find the light that you are!"

Help needed! 🤞

I'm so grateful to be where I am today! 💫 Like literally, bcs hey traveling in Bali is an amazing adventure so far! But I've also learned in my life that life can be difficult but when you open your eyes you will always find love and beauty around you 💖

At the moment I'm at Gili Trawangan, an island near Lombok. The living standards here are a lot different compared to the Netherlands. This also affects the animals living on this island (horses and cats). Since there are no motor vehicles on the island they are depending on horses and carriage. A lot of the locals trying their best to take care of the horses as good as they can. But sadly I've seen horses (pony's) who are used for horse carriage that are not in a good shape. The loads they have to pull can be very heavy, most of the time in the burning sun, some have wounds from the tacks or are too skinny. If the horse is unlucky he/she can have an unpatient driver who will use the whipp if the horse is getting tired. Some of the horses are mentally shut down. It was quiet a shock for me when I arrived! I'm not trying yo create a negative image of Gili Trawangan. I've also seen horses who are in good shape and a driver who got off the carriage to push the carriage to help the horse pull it through a sandy area. There's is just a lot of room to improve horse welfare.

So when I arrived my goal was to help as good as I can without judging the people. I think staying out of judgement is a very good spiritual practise! Judging can come from a defense mechanisme, not wanting to see and feel the pain and not wanting to accept the situation it is today. It is very easy to do but most of the time not helpfull at all. It's always important to put yourself on someone else's shoes.

So the next day I arrived I went to STUD, a rescue centre for horses who also offer horse riding on the beach with a couple of the horses who are capable of carrying someone (they have max weight limit 👏) I met who is a beautiful soul helping so many animals on the island!! 💓

The goal of STUD is to help horses in need but also to create more awareness with the local people. Bcs of STUD there is now a rule that a driver has to have at least 3 horses so they can rotate the horses during the day. There is still a lot of room for improvement but change takes time!

During my stay here I've been visiting STUD everyday. I'm helping Emma train with a pony called Nova. She was a bit anxious but after a couple of sessions she made a lovely change already! Instead of walking away when she sees the halter she now walks towards us very happy and her eyes are much softer 🥰 I really like volunteering at STUD so now I'm kinda sad I have to leave in a couple of days 😢😉

Bcs STUD takes care of the horses so well and are helping to create more awareness to improve animal welfare I would really like to do something more to support STUD and the horses. So I thought, why don't aks my family/friends/connections in the Netherlands for help 😃

As we all know taking care of horses is quiet expensive so it would help STUD a lot if you can donate a little bit of money. It doesn't have to be a lot! Every small amount helps a lot especially since it's low season ar the moment! Things are less expensive here then in Europe. If you have some money to spend for the horses at STUD please send me or STUD a PM. They will be very grateful!!! 🙏💖

To give you an idea of the cost we present you a pricelist:
- 1 bag of pellets: €15 (they use 2 per day)
- 1 bag of grass: €2,50 (they use 9 a day)
- Water bill per month: €60
- Rice bran per month: €515

If you are still with me, thank you so much for your time! Together we can create positive changes in the live of animals and people 💖

"To Travel is to live" ✨🌏

WINTERSTOP... in BALI!! 😍

Op het moment houdt Back on Trail een winterstop. De trainingspaarden zijn eind oktober naar huis gegaan en na 2,5 jaar 7 dagen per week voor de paarden zorgen ben ik op het moment even een klein winterslaapje aan het houden 😉

"Toevallig" vielen er wat omstandigheden samen waardoor deze rustperiode op mijn pad kwam. Eind oktober stopte jammer genoeg mijn werk bij de IJslanderfokkerij. Ik heb daar 2,5 jaar met ontzettend veel plezier gewerkt. Door het inkrimpen van het aantal paarden is er even geen werk meer voor mij. In deze periode heb ik ook besloten om op zoek te gaan naar een nieuwe locatie voor Back on Trail (daarover later meer, maar ik kan alvast verklappen dat er vanaf april weer een aantal trainingsplekken beschikbaar zijn!!! 🤩).

Deze rustperiode biedt mij de mogelijkheid om een andere droom uit te laten komen: reizen! 8 januari vlieg ik naar Bali! 😱😍 Ik ga 2 maanden alleen op avontuur. Lekker even op een positieve manier uit mijn comfortzone want ja, je leeft dit leven maar 1 keer toch?! 😉

De eerste maand ga ik "werken" in ruil voor kost en inwoning. Ik logeer dan op een prachtige plek in Lovina (Noord Bali), 900 m van het strand. Hier ga ik een hond trainen en verzorgen ( # Do what you love and call it work ✨) Zo gaaf! Naast het trainen van de hond ga ik natuurlijk op verkenningstocht in de omgeving en verder met de online video cursus van The Trust Technique 🥰

Na deze maand ga ik nog een hele maand rondreizen! Ik ga op 4 verschillende plekken (Sidemen, Ubud, Nusa Penida en Uluwatu) 1 week verblijven. Nieuwe dingen ontdekken, verwonderen, genieten, lezen, tijd doorbrengen met een bijzondere vriendin, heel veel natuur en gewoon lekker zijn. Ik heb er onwijs veel zin in!

Zijn jullie wel eens in Bali geweest? En hebben jullie nog leuke tips?? 😃

WINTER BREAK... in BALI!! 😍

Back on Trail is currently taking a winter break. The training horses went home at the end of October and after 2.5 years of caring for the horses 7 days a week, I am currently taking a little hibernation 😉

"Coincidentally" some circumstances coincided that led to this period of rest coming my way. Unfortunately, my work at the Icelandic horse farm stopped at the end of October. I worked there for 2.5 years with such great pleasure! Due to the reduction in the number of horses, there is no more work for me at the moment. During this period I also decided to look for a new location for Back on Trail (more about that later, but I can already reveal that new training spots will be available again from April!!! 🤩).

This period of rest offers me the opportunity to make another dream come true: traveling! I'm flying to Bali on the 8th of January! 😱😍 I'm going on this adventure alone for 2 months. A chance to get out of my comfort zone in a positive way because hey, you only live this life once, right?! 😉

The first month I will "work" in exchange for room and board. I will stay in a beautiful place in Lovina (North Bali), 900 m from the beach. Here I will train and care for a dog ( # Do what you love and call it work ✨) So cool! In addition to training the dog, I will of course explore the area and continue with the online video course of The Trust Technique

After this month I will be traveling around for another whole month! I am going to stay for 1 week in 4 different places (Sidemen, Ubud, Nusa Penida and Uluwatu). Discovering new things, being amazed, enjoying, reading, spending time with a special friend, lots of nature and just having fun. I'm really looking forward to it!

Have you ever been to Bali? And do you have any nice tips? 😃

“Home is where the heart is” 💖

Last video in the Trilogy of Amélie! 🥰

Amélie is back home after 5 months of training. Are you curious how she and her owner are doing…? Make sure to watch the next video! 😃

Personally this video makes me SO happy!!! After putting a lot of time and love in the process of training/helping a horse and its owner, I always hope that things will continue in a positive way at home. I feel so happy for Janneke and Amélie that this is the case! It’s one of the reason I’m doing this job and I love it!! 💞

"The most important things in life are the connections you make with others" 🪄🦄

I had the honor of starting this amazing Icelandic horse under the saddle 🤩

It was such a cool and fun process! Fridur was quite furious in the beginning (like his manes😜), showing me he is a fierce guy. Okay, duly noted 😅 It was funny and cute to watch him behave like this but I had to teach him a more relaxed way of behaving bcs the goal was to prepare him for the kids to ride on him 🙄😂

In these months we've spent together we were able to connect in a strong way. He always came walking towards me, sometimes with a soft nicker when I came to pick him up in the pasture. Bad ass on the outside but such a sweeeetheart on the inside 😉😎😍

I love how he absorbed all the new information. He turned out to be a fun and relaxed riding horse in just a couple of months. And what an amazing view from his back, showing off his fierce manes. I simply love him! 💖
