New Zealand
This is to state that I have known Birgitt van der Eijken
in both a personal and professional capacity for the last six years.
My experiences with her have included: Having lessons in her
barn in Beers, Netherlands Grooming for her at the World Young Horse
Championships and C Dl's The purchasing of a Grand Prix stallion from
her in August 2003 for export to New Zealand for breeding and competition
purposes.
I have recently gone into
partnership with Birgitt to stand her stallion "Ramazotti" at stud in New
Zealand.
I have always found Birgitt to be very honest and
upfront to deal with. She is happy to share her great knowledge of
riding with anybody keen to learn. As a rider she continues to
impress me with her ability to train horses, especially when winning the World
5 year old championships in Arnhem on Roval Investment. She
has a great depth of knowledge about both dressage and horses in general,
learnt from many years of solid work in the industry . Birgitt has
always been nothing but a true professional to do business with. She is
always true to her word which is important for non-European people to gain
her trust. As a person I have always found her approachable and
generous.
Yours sincerely,
Jody Hartstone
