Our History

When my grandmother (Koornneef) married my grandfather (of Manen), a piece of my father's land was bought as usual at the time. Houtzagersweg 11, Kootwijk.

On a Saturday afternoon a house was erected from scratch. It was named after "Janneke", the first born daughter. There was no floor in the house and people lived and slept on the sand floor.

A workbench was both a service and a kitchen block for granny and as a carpenter's bench for grandpa. After a lot of saving and hard work, a chicken shed was built that is now the stable for the horses and the old garage has been converted into a Bed & Breakfast.

In the sixties a large stone house was built, which could then be used to provide comfort, warmth and protection against the elements of nature. Grandpa and his son built this house with their own hands, here in the middle of nature.

When I came to stay as a granddaughter and wanted to ride horses with the neighbors, I often told Grandma that I wanted to live here ... a place where everyone was welcome! It was in March 2017 when my wish came true, as the property became mine, and it feels the same as it did back then: that everyone is welcome!




 

Some call it obsessed, I call it dedication.

As a little girl I was already crazy about horses and wanted to sit on every pony that I could lay my eyes on .
After a lot of nagging I was allowed to take horseback riding lessons and despite many falls I kept going.
I liked the most difficult animals and I wanted to learn from them.
After learning from many teachers, I started my company in 2001. Training, correction and instruction is my passion.
Together with Pieter, I got two children Max and Fleur both have little to do with horses. That is probably because of their overdoses on horses.

In the year 2017 we got the chance to buy the house of grandfather and grandmother. Together we succeeded. Now we have a Bed & Breakfast on this unique location with the possibility to make the most beautiful outdoor rides.
Kootwijk offers us peace, space and the chance to let many people spend a few hours with the horses and to spend the night in our Bed & Breakfast.

Feel free to bring your horse for outdoor trips or for keeping it safe and warm in the stable. We are open summer and winter and we welcome you to Koren tot Manen!
