A lovely foal by Jos' eight year old stallion Aganix du Seigneur.

"Last year I had fourteen foals, but that is not something I normally would like – it was far too many," Jos laughed when we met him at home. This year he had a few less.

It's busy in the paddocks at Lansink's yard! "I think the horses need to be outside, and as little as possible in the box," Jos said during our visit.

Told you he was cute: King Julio is a seven year old stallion by Jos' former star King Kolibri.

Our location!

Every esteemed showjumping stable should have a replica of the double of liverpools in Aachen with neighbouring lake.

The view from the grass ring to the sand ring. "One day I will use the footing here in the sand ring, then the next day I will take the horse on the grass ring over there and then the next day in the forest," Jos told World of Showjumping.
