NEWS
There is always something going on in equestrian sports. We would like to share the news about the performances of our horses and what is happening within our company with you very often. Like many people who love horses, we are not fond of computers and everything that comes with it. We hope that you will forgive us if we are a little late in posting the news or perhaps forget to post it all together. Our horses are everything to us and taking care of them always comes first.

Article about our family in Haverklap
In the Smits Van Tricht family, life revolves around horses. Tim van Tricht is blacksmith, jury member of the BWP stallion selection and passionate breeder of Tiji Stables where several top horses have already been born….
We proudly present you the article in Haverklap about our family and Tiji Stables.
THE ART AND PATIENCE OF BREEDING THE BEST
Our projects are larger than our trophies and titles. We are constantly striving to further improve the quality of the TIJI breed.
We love breeding and training young horses and thereby bringing them to the sport. On average, we have about 40 horses, from young promising ones to fully trained adult ones. We give all horses the time they need to develop so they can persue a long and successful career in the sport. We breed high quality international jumping horses from lower level show jumping up to Grand Prix. We don’t have to tell you that every single horse has its own personality and character. Our advantage is that we are not horse dealers but we breed hoses, ride them, train them and prepare them for competitions. We know what we sell. Let us introduce you to some of the members of our family.
STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE
Tiji stands for the breeding of Tim van Tricht and Jill Smits, a breeding duo that has already won many prizes. For example, our breeding product Garfield de Tiji was already chosen as horse of the year, while in the same year we also received the 'Young Breeder Award'. But it does not stop there... Also Bull Run's Faustino and Flinstone de Tiji (now Hello Guv'nor) are bred by us.

Passion for horses
Yes, it's all about patience... The patience to select the best stallion, the patience to experiment and the patience to let the horse develop himself. We strongly believe that this is the way to create winners. Our goal is to help the horses reach their full potential in order to compete at the highest level of the sport. When the time comes to sell our horses we pride ourselves in the fact that they have been bred, trained and taking care of in the best way possible.
Although the sport is our main focus, we still put a lot of importance in training our horses in a playful and honest way. The health and happiness of our horses have priority over everything else. Tiji Stables provides a peaceful atmosphere for the horses to recover from their training and relax. We try to provide the perfect environment for developing the potential in young horses and shaping them into Grand Prix champions.
