STABLES
He owns Willem Greve Sportpaarden in Markelo, Netherlands. "Tonny and Monique Zwienenberg had this location [in Markelo] for sale. I made some adjustments and realised my dream. I really enjoy myself here. A beautiful place for me and the horses. Of course I go for top sport, but I also like the process of training a horse, seeing the talent in an animal and taking it out."

RIO DISAPPOINTMENT
In July 2016 he decided his horse Carambole was not fit enough to compete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and withdrew from the Dutch squad. "Horses cannot talk, but I know Carambole very well and he does not deserve to be taking part in a match half-fit. He has had an incredibly good season but it is unbelievable that you are so close and this can happen. It is very unfortunate. I've had Carambole since he was four, so I know him inside out and he knows me just as well." (worldofshowjumping.com, 18 May 2021; rtvoost.nl, 16 Jul 2016)
