For a year we build…
together as a team - horse, rider, trainer, groom, family and barn.

Equestrian breathing families,
including nine woman amateur riders,
people of character,
Family and friends who are sincerely and purely proud to do what they love.

Here at De Bosch we like to celebrate. We celebrate the big things BIG time! We also love to celebrate the small things, a first time something happens, achieving small wins in improvement, unexpected favour, a happy and meaningful moment. We celebrate joy, passion and pride. We celebrate success and we celebrate each other. The past week… all of the above happened.

To single out a few highlights is impossible! However, never did we think 19 year old Tower would win a performance National Blue Ribbon - Well done little Kira!! And Adriaan being trainer and coach of the SA Grand Champion Amateur Three-gaited, Five-gaited and Park Horse for the second consecutive year, is an exceptional achievement. 13 SA Champions and 36 top 3 placings - a job very well done!

Although there were lots of success, it doesn’t mean it came easy. There were also crisis management, difficult circumstances, injured and ill horses and riders.
There’s a saying… “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” - but hard work still needs to SHOW UP.
Each of our riders showed up this week to make the most of their performances. They persevered and excelled and we are so proud of you. Thank you for representing De Bosch and living the dream to the fullest ❤️

It’s a massive relief that the Western Cape horses do not have to quarantine - for the first time in years! The De Bosch horses are on their way home, ready for well-deserved rest and TLC. Thank you Adriaan for your expert care and guidance. We appreciate all you do for our horses and riders to perform to the best of their abilities.
