Which are the faces behind Rijstal Le Cheval? Hereby we would like to introduce ourselves. We are Doeke and Agnes. You will regularly find Agnes in the stables. She is mainly concerned with the horses. Doeke is mainly engaged in all work around the stable, such as work on land and various chores.

Rijstal Le Cheval has been an important part of Doeke’s family for years. Three aunts have set up the stable. One of them, Ineke, has continued the stable for over 40 years with great enthusiasm. Gradually the stable grew into what it is today. Since September 2017 we are the proud owners.

Groninger horse breed

In the recent years we have developed a special passion for the Groninger horse breed. A reliable, down to earth and work willing horse. A few years ago we bought our first Groningers Kees and Froukje, and we love this diverse horse breed ever since. We are very proud of our first own bread Groninger horse Marco. Marco has now grown into an adult horse and recently we have started training him under the saddle.

But we have baby news again! In the summer of 2025 we are expecting a foal from our Groningen mare Monopoly. The father is the Groninger stallion Heraldo van Vredenheim.
