Wrangler, Guide

My equestrian journey began during my childhood, riding recreationally on trail and in the arena in my home country The Netherlands. However, in 2019 after I graduated with a master’s degree in Landscape Architecture at Delft University of Technology, I left my country to travel in North and South America. When the pandemic disrupted travel plans, I decided to stay there and devote all my time to riding horses and being outdoors. I worked as an intern at a training facility in California for 4 months (live-in), on a ranch in Mexico as a wrangler and tour guide for 2.5 years and I did a similar job on a ranch in the Argentine Andes for a season (live-in). Lately I’ve been engaging in endurance riding, assisting in the training of FEI2* horses.

My name is Iris and I’m an enthusiastic and dedicated equestrian from the Netherlands. My great passion for horses and genuine interest in nature and ecology play important roles in both my personal and professional life. In the past years, I've been fortunate to work on ranches across different countries as a wrangler, horse guide and endurance groom.
