Nature and Nurture
We believe that behavior is a product of both genetics and environment. We therefor choose our breeding stock meticulously, using only top warmblood stallions that scored a 9,5 or 10 for character on their stalliontest. We match them with high quality Iberian mares that are approved by both the ANCCE/APSL and the Oldenburger Verband. In the nurturing proces we expose our young horses intensely to diverse experiences. On a daily basis we teach them to be attentive to human commands, stand still, wait for you, being transported, engage with the farrier, walk on a lead and thus master fundamental behaviours essential to function in our human world.

ENZO MAC
Purchasing a horse from Marlies means starting with the right foundations, the right first impressions, and the thoughtful nurturing needed to set them up for success as they begin their journey as a riding horse. It’s something I continue to benefit from as my horse Enzo matures, with his solid foundation still guiding and supporting him.Awaiting the next purchase from this botique little stud farm.
