About us

Welcome to our special place. Our experts, hostesses, heart guards, coaches and animal freaks make every visit an unforgettable experience.

Peace, relaxation and passion

These are the principles of the Magnolia Hoeve. The peace that the location radiates, the relaxation that you feel when you are there and the passion for the animals that walk around there.

Our mission is to let people and animals flourish and enjoy themselves, with peace and finding your own balance as the central focus.

Our story

In May 2017, this unique location came our way. The energy of this place gave rise to the ideas that we used to dream of. Ideas that fit in perfectly with the location and surroundings. The starting point here is to let others feel and experience what makes this place unique. The peace in the presence of nature and the horses.

Magnolia farm started activities such as yoga on and next to the horse in the spring of 2021.

The farm is located on the edge of the Sint Anthonis State Forests, a stone's throw from the entrance to the nature reserve. The nature reserve of the State Forests is approximately 825 hectares in size and contains many cycling, mountain biking, hiking, horse riding and carriage routes: varying from 2 to 26 kilometers. Ideal for enjoying nature in the area.

We have more than 2 hectares of pasture, a spacious indoor arena of 20 x 40 meters, a lunging circle of 18 meters and 17 stables. Some of these stables have an extension to a paddock, so that the horses can be kept in a natural way where the well-being of the horses is very important.

Our philosophy

Horses do not judge. They don't care what others think of you or what you look like. Horses are herd animals by nature and communicate through body language and behavior. They live in the here and now. This is also how they communicate with people. They communicate based on their instincts about behavior and are constantly looking for clear leadership. They offer relaxation and motivation to people to change behavior and learn through exercises on and next to the horse. During exercises, people can experiment with the animal: how can I approach this better? Does this work this way? What can I do differently? Everything you learn from this can be applied in daily life.

By dealing with horses and riding, you create awareness of your own behavior, feelings and body. You learn what influence this has on the movement and posture of the horse. Horses react from their instincts and want clarity from your way of communicating. They offer motivation and relaxation to change behavior. This also changes your view of the outside world and this method can also be applied in daily life. Working with horses is accessible, and the experiences differ per person because everyone has their own goals and interests that can be worked on. But above all, this is experienced with pleasure, peace and relaxation, and gaining more energy. The horses and our farm give a feeling of safety and appreciation.
