"We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
Our Vision
Centre Équestre Riddermark (REC) is a dedicated establishment focused on the breeding, training, competing, and selling of premium show jumpers. We are committed to producing horses that are not only exceptional athletes but also willing partners, capable of elevating their riders to new heights in the world of competitive show jumping. By showcasing the skills and technique of our horses, we aim to inspire others and demonstrate the profound impact that careful breeding and preparation can have on success in the ring. At REC, we understand that when competing at the highest levels of show jumping, the quality of the horse is just as important—if not more so—than the skill of the rider. Success is never left to chance; it is the product of intentional decisions, top-tier bloodlines, meticulous training, and the development of a powerful partnership. While the rider acts as strategist and problem solver—making split-second decisions and adjusting strides—it is the horse that must execute the physical demands of each course. For this reason, our horses are bred and selected for their athleticism, temperament, scope, technique, and resilience.
Our breeding program is centered around top sport horse breeds such as the Selle Français and Hanoverians, known for their reliability and consistent success in show jumping. In addition, we carefully produce Dutch Warmbloods, Swedish Warmbloods and various other warmblood breeds to broaden our genetic base while never compromising our commitment to excellence. Each breeding match is made with purpose, aiming to improve on the previous generation—enhancing traits like jump technique, temperament, strength, and stamina. To support this mission, we’ve introduced new and diverse bloodlines into our program, which has contributed to a strong and uniquely competitive string of homebred horses, many of which now compete successfully and consistently earn top placings. We do our utmost to produce show jumpers with inner drive, innate talent, and a true passion for jumping. Even though the rider guides and directs, it is essential that the horse be strong, brave, and eager to face the challenge. That’s why REC exists—to build that perfect harmony between horse and rider.
Beyond producing elite horses, REC is deeply committed to supporting our customers through every step of their journey. We offer a range of services designed to ensure lasting satisfaction and responsible ownership. If a customer can no longer keep a purchased horse, we provide options such as buy-back programs or temporary boarding, training, and competition arrangements until the horse can be returned. This ensures that REC horses are always used in line with our shared expectations and values. Close communication with clients about training, competition, and the horse’s well-being is at the heart of our customer relationships. Our goals and values shape every part of our operation. Within REC, clear communication starts with a strong team dynamic and extends naturally to our clients. Our staff understand that results don’t appear overnight—they are the result of sustained dedication, expertise, and a shared vision. As a competition-focused stable, our riders and trainers invest their hearts, time, and energy into helping our horses reach their full potential. We embrace both the challenges and victories of the sport, always motivated by the belief that: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
