Julia Groenhart.

From a young age, my life has revolved around horses. Even as a young girl, I knew what I wanted to become: a top-level dressage rider and equestrian entrepreneur. What started as a huge passion quickly grew into a way of life in which sport, development, and the well-being of horses take center stage. Over the years, I have developed within the equestrian sport, both as a top athlete and an equestrian entrepreneur, always with one clear vision: creating the best environment for both horse and rider.

My experience in the sport has taught me how important balance, management, and the right guidance are for sustainable performance. Behind every successful performance stands a horse that feels good physically and mentally. For me, it is precisely this combination that forms the basis of everything I do.

Thanks to my various training in equestrian sports and experience in my own career in the sport, I put precise and professional management into practice for the horse. In doing so, I look beyond just training or performance; the complete well-being of the horse is central.

By establishing JGD Stables, I have created an environment where all these aspects come together. A place where everything has been considered, with high-quality care, tranquility, optimal facilities, professional guidance, a safe sporting environment, and everything dedicated to the well-being of the horse. This forms the basis for healthy, happy, and fit horses.

Julia is an experienced rider with achievements at both national and international levels. Throughout her career, she rode for many years in the A-squad for Young Riders and competed at international U25 level. She also held a place in the Rabobank talent plan. She has won multiple medals at the Dutch National Championships and achieved many international podium finishes. Additionally, she is successful with several young horses. This includes participation in the World Championships for Young Horses in Verden with her own breeding, Ortisei, winning the PAVO CUP pre-selection with Mr Toto, having multiple horses in the PAVO CUP semi-finals, and reaching the PAVO CUP final. Julia also aspires to compete at the international Grand Prix top level in the senior category. She is reinforcing this ambition with one of her best horses by receiving a wildcard for the NOPT selection day.

This high-level experience has shaped her into a rider with deep insight into the training, development, and education of sport horses up to the highest level and international sport. The combination of top-level sport experience, training young horses, achievements in breeding, and all acquired knowledge forms the basis of her vision within JGD Stables today.
