Certified Instructor

Jos is the backbone of our program here at Stal S3 at Hidden View Farm — and it’s easy to see why! With over 50 years of experience, Jos brings an unmatched level of expertise, passion, and dedication to everything we do.

Jos holds certifications as a dressage instructor in the U.S. (USDF), the Netherlands, and France with the prestigious Cadre Noir — one of the most elite equestrian institutions in the world.

As a USDF/USEF Sport Horse Breed Judge, Jos brings an extraordinary eye for excellence to every arena. His judging credentials include:

∙ Young Horse Show (YHS)

∙ KWPN-NA Board of Directors

∙ American Holsteiner Association Approval Tour

∙ American Trakehner Association Stallion Approvals

His coaching legacy spans the globe — from guiding numerous NAYC competitors, to coaching the Belgian Event Team in dressage, to representing the Guatemalan Team at the Caribbean Games.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Jos was shaped by two legendary horsemen — Piet Oothout and Ernest van Loon — whose influence laid the foundation for a lifetime of equestrian excellence.

We are incredibly proud and grateful to have Jos leading the way at Stal S3. His wisdom, knowledge, and heart for the sport are what make this program truly special.
