Under the smoke of Utrecht lies the village IJsselstein. There the certified Studfarm Lauw van Vliet is established. This well known Studfarm is a place for the enthusiastic breeder who goes for quality, service and personal contact. In the course of the years the emphasis has shifted towards breeding top quality Dressage and Jumping Stallions. With this in mind Studfarm Lauw van Vliet offers an interesting choice of high quality Dressage and Jumping Stallions.

Studfarm Lauw van Vliet is managed by Lauw van Vliet, his wife Jenet and a number of employees and trainees.



How it all started.
As a little boy Lauw van Vliet was completely into horses and ponies. Everyday he went to the stables to look after these beautiful animals. At the age of 16 he came in contact with the HBC Stables in Waddinxveen. Besides training and riding young horses Lauw also starts preparing young stallions for shows and competitions. This dedication grows and in 1986 Lauw decides to start his own Studfarm. At that moment Studfarm Lauw van Vliet is a fact.

Jenet van Manen is well known in the world of horses. She is the third generation from the well-known “Horse Family” Van Manen. Jenet grows up with the love for horses, just by working with them everyday at the studfarm of her parents. In 1989, Jenet moves in with Lauw and together they go further at the Studfarm Lauw van Vliet. After Jenet gave birth to her three children Anne, Lauwrens and Colet her active horse riding moved into active helping and working at the Studfarm.

In spite of the growth of the Studfarm they have remained a real family company. Whether it concerns breeding recommendation for the mare, stallion advice or examining your mare and/or offspring, personal contact stays very important. In 2007, the accommodation of the Studfarm has been adapted to the contemporary wishes of breeding. The 30 existing boxes have been cultivated and modernised to accompany the mares of breeders as optimum possible.
