More fun, fewer injuries, and better performance

Do you want to increase your enjoyment of riding? Do you want to ride in a way that is healthy for your horse's body and for yourself? Do you want to perform better at competitions? Or do you want all three? Whatever is on your wish list, you've come to the right place.

For every level and every discipline

Working on optimizing your seat makes sense for every rider, regardless of discipline or level. And I can help you with that. My client base ranges from anxious beginners, who don't dare to canter yet, to riders from the top sport. A better seat increases your self-confidence, and a better seat creates more harmony. That is the reason why top riders are also guided by me, because it is precisely at the highest level that the way you work with your seat makes the difference. In other words: "Small changes make big differences."

Accompanied by a smile

I always say: I want not one, but two happy athletes. Horse riding is a sport! Riders who are aware of this make happy horses. When I see the horses change during my work by working on the riders, I enjoy it immensely. You see the horses relax and enjoy their work more, the movement becomes more beautiful and healthier, and then you see that magical harmony between horse and rider develop. And when that smile appears on the rider's face... Then you know how the name of my company came about!

About me

I'm Roos Dyson, founder of "Gepaard met een lach" (horsing with a smile) in 2009. My passion for horses started at a very young age. After graduating from high school, I completed the 4-year equestrian course in Deurne in 2001. I have experience as a groom, rider and instructor. At the moment I focus on dressage, with three horses of my own: Romy, who I trained up to and including the Prix St Georges, Variety, with whom I Inter 2 will start, and Mickey who I am training as a successor. In 2009 I completed the Akasha Sitting Coach course, focusing on anatomy, biomechanics, posture and the seat. I seize every opportunity to learn even more about the profession, because it is not only my job, but also my passion.

Teaching, my work and my passion

When I was 16 years old, I got my first lesson client. That was in 1995. Teaching is still my job and my passion. Helping horses and making people happy by teaching them to ride better is incredibly satisfying.

Because I want to help you and your horse(s) I have something for you!

Fill in your details and watch the professional video recording of the clinic I gave at Horse Event 2023 together with Imke Schellekens-Bartels for FREE. The clinic is about "Posture, Balance and Biomechanics" and gives beautiful eye-openers about how big the influence of your seat is on the posture and movement of your horse.
