About us

Equine professionals and rider training for all levels

We like to welcome you to our yard Stal Heijligers! Our yard is situated in a wonderful rural setting in Asten in the middle of an equestrian centre in southern part of the Netherlands. We are a professional yard with great experience in sport. Our showjumping yard is owned and run by Rob Heijligers and Nina Fortgens.

Rob focuses on sports and sales of horses.
He is also an international trainer in showjumping. Nina is the managing director of our yard. She speaks different languages and can help you find what you are looking for. We educate horses from the beginning to championship level.
Rob grew up in Asten on the yard of his parents. Rob loved horses from the beginning and competed early on both ponies and jumping horses.
Nina grew up in Sweden and competed as an amateur on ponies. In her teens she moved with her family to Asten where she met Rob. When the yard of his parents was sold in 2005 they started Stal Heijligers together nearby at the Laarbroek in Asten. There their business started to grow with hard work and pleasure. Forming and growing new talent is the foundation of their company.

We have many years of experience and knowledge to generate a business which is professional and dynamic and truly care about you and the horses.
Stal Heijligers is sponsored by TVW veewagens, the specialist in horse trucks for your need & Coprox, make it waterproof.

We hope to see you soon at our yard, for a short visit or extended stay for training and to find you the perfect horse!
