Sub-association for horses

Number of members: +- 160

The Horse Breeding Association (PFC) is a sub-association of study association “De Veetelers”, focused on all aspects of the horse sector. We, as the PFC, aim to provide Animal Sciences students with practical experience alongside their lectures by organising excursions to horse events, clinics, stud farms, and other businesses.

This year, for instance, we visited a HIT-aktiv stable, went to Jumping Amsterdam, and organised a hoof trimming course where we got to practice our hoof trimming skills on real dead horse hooves. We also offer a beginner’s class annually and a clinic and/or trail ride for advanced riders, such as vaulting, western riding, or horseball.

Every year, we organise a theme or discussion evening. This year we had the honour to welcome Annemarie van der Toorn, a well-known Dutch horse trainer, to talk about “Horse psychology”. We also organise a weekend trip each academic year, either in The Netherlands or abroad, visiting equestrian companies and organisations, while also enjoying trail rides and fun evenings together!

All our activities are made possible by the financial support received from our sponsors, Equilin and Anivado.

If you want to enhance your studies and deepen your knowledge of horses, become a member of PFC! (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
