The
Dutch Bronze Medallist at the 1999 European Championships,
Arjen Teeuwissen, has found a new facility for his dressage
horses. Teeuwissen is moving from his beautiful Fort
Oudaen in 's Gravenwezel, Belgium, to a stable in Zoersel,
Belgium.
Teeuwissen moved to 's Gravenwezel, Belgium, in 1997,
where he transformed an old war fortress into an exclusive
dressage stable. Fort Oudaen, the name of the fortress,
lies in a protected nature area in Belgium meaning that
Teeuwissen is not allowed to build an indoor arena.
"We live in a sea climate in Belgium and we have
rain almost 9 out of 12 months. We can't do without
an idoor arena," Teeuwissen said.
After
the final refusal of building permit for an indoor arena,
the quest for a new facility started. Teeuwissen and
his life companion Frank Garristen were decided upont
staying in Belgium as they love the bourgeois life-style
of the Belgian people. They found their new premises
in Zoersel, only ten minutes away from their old barn.
The purchase certificate has already been signed but
they are still waiting for the results of a soil research.
