WE HELP YOU
WE GROW YOU
We are an expertise and innovation centre for the equestrian sports.
We operate in the three Olympic equestrian disciplines:
Showjumping, Dressage and Eventing.
Together
We are in the industry together! Right here, at EquInnoLab, we research, we help create, we innovate and we sustain.
Innovate
Our aim is to innovate the sport with sustainability in mind. That’s why we believe that sport is a priority and science is a means for progress.
Knowledge
Together with our team, we bring knowledge to the sport, innovate and focus on the performance of the horse and the rider.
#TwoHearts
The equestrian sport is a team sport where teams are made of two athletes. And everything we do is in service of the sport, involving breeding, raising, caring and keeping the horses.

As an innovation centre that has steadily established a prominent place in the equestrian industry, we can help you. Being a certified partner in the Sportinnovator network we are a gateway for every person or company that wants to take part in innovative development of the equestrian industry.
