Karlijn
My name is Karlijn and I live with my husband (Rick) and two sons in Afferden. Originally I am an all-round operating assistant but in the meantime that profession has made way for running PaardEerlijk®.
After my search and experience with my own horse, I felt a great need to help others in this area. The misery of a horse with laminitis and the associated worries, combined with the uncertainty that the changing information from vets, farriers and the internet brings, do not make it any easier. In the end I came to the painful conclusion... I let it happen myself. Ignorantly and never intended to, but for years I did not pay enough attention to nutrition. I had been fighting our horse's excess weight for years, we wore out one grazing muzzle after another and I was constantly trying to keep the associated problems such as chafing within limits. But that alone was not enough to protect her from laminitis. Nutrition plays a much greater role in health.
I now use all the experience I have gained through PaardEerlijk® to help others on their way to a healthier horse!
