A few months ago I started the Equestrian Vitality Coach and I really like it! The education is fully focused on equestrian sports and yet very broad. You learn everything from the muscles of the human body to giving sound nutritional advice. In addition, the assignments they give during the lessons are very easy to apply in practice, so that you can immediately start working with the theory you have learned!

During the education I learned a lot, and I had a lot of fun doing so. I wanted nothing more than to help and support other riders on their way to optimal rider vitality. Because of the One Switch education I was well prepared to continue independently and this created my company Vitaal te Paard. In the meantime I have been active with my company for a few years now and I now train with various riders of different disciplines and levels.
