Johan Hubrechts of Stoeterij van't Scheefkasteel always has a wide range of horses for sale. "We breed and buy all kinds of horses," says Johan, who runs his horse business with his wife and children.

Dutch Horse Trading is one of Johan's first times participating in an online auction. "I'm still old-fashioned," he laughs. "I've been selling horses in auctions for about 20 years, but not often online yet. It's good to adjust to current times and become a little more modern. This initiative suits our time, and I think this will be the new way of trading horses."

Proper communication with the customer is crucial to Johan. "I always try to be open and honest and match the right horse with the right customer. I want them to be happy with it, also long-term. A horse that doesn't suit one rider can be a very nice horse for someone else. With a large group of reliable horse dealers, we have a better chance of finding the right horse for the customer, which really appeals to me about this initiative."

Johan likes to see a good horse with a ton of scope. "They can never have too much scope," says Johan. "I also like to see a young horse that jumps with a lot of quality and an amateur horse or schoolmaster with the right attitude."

Several good horses have ended up with their current riders via Stoeterij Van't Scheefkasteel. Giovanni van het Scheefkasteel (Darco x Maybe) jumped at five-star level under Pius Schwizer, Nina vh Scheefkasteel (Numero Uno x Diamant de Semilly) jumped at three-star level under Skye Morssinkhof, and I-cap CL Z (I'm Special de Muze x Air Jordan) jumps at four-star level under Jessica Mendoza.
