The Team
Sabine Widmaier
Sabine is the person in charge of customer care and all the paper work related to the training center. She has been managing the business the last 18 years and knows very well the training center’s needs. She is always available for the clients, in the office as well as on shows.
Katrien Van Dycke
Katrien has been working with Frank the last several years. She is in charge of training and schooling some of the show horses. She often has the chance to show horses in the arena collecting over the last few years several successes. But what will stay in Katrien’s memory for a long time will be her win at the World Championship in 2006 with Bess Fa’Izah. As Frank showed her half sister Panarea by Palawan to the Reserve World Champion Title, Katrien walked in with Bess Fa’Izah as the new World Champion filly.
