They have been meticulously restored and are now back in the place where they served over a century ago: the historic carriages of De Haar Castle. For once, they were hitched up and this resulted in extraordinary images.

Last weekend, four restored carriages from Kasteel De Haar were presented. Among them was a reunion with Imposant (by Eebert), who was hitched to a more than 100-year-old Napoleon Phaeton. Imposant, born in 2013, was bred by Niek Augustinus from Ommeren.

Stephan Broeckx reports on a traditional carriage journey through Belgium taking in the castles, and countryside whilst at the same time providing the opportunity to meet up with much missed friends.

Since 2 weeks we have a new addition to our stable, Imposant (by Eebert x Uromast). Imposant was already very successful in the harness sport in his younger years, and won the Egbert Emmink Bokaal as a 3-year-old with Cees van der Maat as his driver.

Harness horses are primarily bred to shine as competition horses in the show ring. But that is not the only stage where they excel. They perform at the top level in international carriage driving, and we are seeing them more and more as dressage horses, bringing joy to many.
