CDI Lier is an innovative Belgian dressage competition. The first edition of the four-star event took place in 2017. At that time, many well-known dressage riders took part in the competition. Among other things Jorinde Verwimp, Adelinde Cornelissen and Marieke van der Putten were present to battle for the prizes.

We of Equine MERC were approached by the organization of CDI Lier to design and fill a website. They were not previously provided with a website. We immediately started to create a website that matches the prestige of the event. In addition, we have also ensured that all information is very easy to find for visitors to the website. For example, it is clearly stated that the event is free of charge and all information for participants is easy to find.

Equine MERC was approached by the van Tillaart family to develop a website. One of the requirements was that it had to be a well-organized website where mainly the horses are well-lit.

VDT Horses is engaged in breeding, raising and the trade of especially dressage horses. Horse people Ad, Willemien and Paula dedicate themselves with heart and soul to their horses. The company has already earned its stripes in breeding. Some of their toppers are Velvet VDT, Delypsa II VDT and Osmium VDT.

After consultation with the family we started working and we have worked hard to achieve a great website. A photo day was scheduled to provide the website with good photos and an impression of the accommodation. Partly because of this, the website is now a perfect reflection of the company. Thanks to the specially developed horse plugin, all information about the horses is clearly displayed and visitors immediately see everything they want to know!

The Verhagen family has been infected with the horse virus for generations. Steffi, Wilma and Jan are all 100% committed to their company Verhagen Horse Service in Boekel. They approached Equine MERC to provide their company of a new online appearance.

The homepage shows at one glance what the company stands for. The figurehead of the family is shown at the top of the page: Hennessy. It also clearly shows that it is a family business. The services of Verhagen Horse Service are displayed very clearly on the website. The menu contains the headings ‘Hennessy’, ‘Pregnancy supervision’, ‘AI-Station’, ‘Stallion supervision’ and ‘About us’. At the top of the menu are the headings ‘Events’, ‘News’ and ‘Contact’. In this way customers can navigate quickly and easily to their pages of interest. The website is available in Dutch and English.

On this page you will find his data, summary, pedigree, performance test scores, results, offspring and offspring report. You can also click through to news articles about the black stallion.

Through Jan’s great passion for breeding and top sport, the company has become an established name in the horse world. Some of the figureheads are Lord Sandro and Wolisco DDH.

Mr. van de Kamp approached us to design a completely new website where the identity of the company, and especially the horses, is the main topic. With the special horse plugin that we developed, a clear and beautiful overview of all horses has been realized.

Visitors to the website are welcomed by a beautiful impression video of the company. They can quickly and easily find the information they are looking for. The websites is available in Dutch, English and German.

After we designed a brand new logo for Stoeterij VZ Hackerom, it was time for a new and modern website! The equestrian company has multiple famous horses and is therefore an established name in the horse world. That’s why it was also important that the website got the matching allure.

We have implemented the VZ Hackerom logo in the website. We have done this among other things with the featured news on the homepage. As a result, the website really is unique.

The horses are of course the most important thing of the company. Hence the horses are clearly categorized. It is easy for visitors to find information on the structured and clear website.

We are very pleased with the website and invite you to take a look!

Owner Rob Claessens wanted the new website to be to very straightforward. It needed to be clear right away what the company’s services are; horse transport and horsebox rental. Customers had to be triggered to request a quotation. In addition, there was an existing colour palette that he would like to hold on to. After we sat down with Rob to talk about his wishes for the new website, we started immediately.

The new website is very clear. Visitors immediately know where on the website they can find the information they are looking for. By using bright colours in the quotation applications, customers are attracted to these buttons. Because images are an important aspect of a good website, the website of this professional is filled with beautiful pictures made by our one and only Luc. The fleet of Lumaro Horsetravel has a clear page where they are highlighted and there is a nice page with news.

These impressive accommodations are the work of Ahmet Yilmaz: and for such a creative mastermind a matching website was needed. Aşure came to marketing and event agency Equine MERC to create the perfect website.

The horsemen of Equine MERC put a lot of effort to develop a unique website. It has not become a standard website, but that was also not the intention! We strive to create one of a kind web sites, because every company is different. Through a clear homepage you can easily navigate to the various projects. The site is very clean and easy to understand. Many images where used to fill the website. An architect, off course, cannot do without!

Dressuurstal Verwimp approached Equine MERC for an update of their website. Jorinde Verwimp travelled to Rio de Janeiro to compete in the Olympic Games of 2016 with her horse Tiamo as the representative of Belgium. The tide was high to update the website to a level that meets the qualities of Dressuurstal Verwimp.

A few of the updates that Equine MERC has done is adding the history of the company, an about us page, information about team members and an up to date overview of the horses. Many beautiful pictures have been added to the website to give the visitors a good impression of the accommodation and the horses. In this way, visitors get a better idea of what Verwimp stands for.

Dressuurstal Verwimp did not only get an update of their website, they also got a Social Media membership. This means that the website, Universal Horse Data and the Facebook page are maintained by Equine MERC. This allows Verwimp to focus for the full 100% at their work with the horses.

A beautiful accommodation deserves a matching website, that is were Equine MERC stands for. VMF Stables meets this standard, since the launch of the new website. A lot of effort and attention went into the design and text of the online version of the dressage and trading stable. Thanks to the horse plugin, designed by Equine MERC, it has become a website to die for.

VMF Stables is located in a small picturesque village in Zeeland called Ellemeet. The passionate horsemen cater for horses of all levels: from totally green to Grand Prix level. Because horses are the most important aspect of a dressage stable, one of the wishes of owner Liesbeth van Oosten was a clear overview of the horses on the website. This wish has been fulfilled thanks to our own unique horse plugin. When you enter the horse page, you see all relevant information in a blink of an eye. Besides a clear overview, many pictures have been added to the website and you can get to know the team. To keep visitors up to date a news page has been added as well. You are just one click away of the latest results.

Team Nijhof is one of the biggest stud farms of the Netherlands. They have a record amount of Grand Prix-stallions, amongst others Verdi and Johnson. Both stallions belong to the top of the world and in 2014 they participated the World Cup finals and the World Equestrian Games, where they both won a medal. They wanted a new and modern website so they approached our hippique marketingbureau to design a whole new one.

A new plugin was used on the website of Nijhof. The plugin makes it possible to have a nice presentation of all the horses. The stallion collection of the stud farm exists of over 60 stallions, so it was a must of Nijhof that the overview was complete and clear. Also, the information that breeders need is easy to find and accessible. Besides a new plugin, a digital order form was used to make the sperm orders efficient and easy.

In addition, the news page of Nijhof is very complete. Every week new news is added so that there is a nice overview of the performances of Team Nijhof’s stallions.

In the 90s, Mr. Zegwaard imported some of the best miniature horses in the world to the Netherlands. He then started breeding and now he has become one of the largest farms in Europe when it comes to the professional breeding of miniature horses. There are several varieties on Stal Zegwaard: Falabella, American Miniature Horse (AMHA) and NMPRS. Stal Zegwaard has had several memorable successes. They for example had the smallest miniature horse in the world, called Mercador. Mercador was in the Guinness Book of Records. In addition, they often participate in shows and they always belong to the crème de la crème.

Given the status of Stal Zegwaard and the large number of miniature horses they have, it was important that the miniature horses are clearly displayed on the website. We therefore installed the plugin designed by us to the new website in order to make it possible. Now you can clearly see the miniature horses on the website and find all the information you need.

We are proud of the result. What do you think?

The Dutch Sport Horse Sales is well known in the horse world. It is an international auction of talented young horses and is organised in cooperation with Stal Hendrix and Yves Houtackers. Equine MERC has designed the website on behalf of the auction and keeps it up to date.

For the Dutch Sport Horse Sales, the atmosphere and appearance are of great importance. Therefore, the website also radiates much atmosphere.

In 2015 the first edition of Auction4Good took place in Roosendaal. The auction has a collection of talented 3- to 7-year-old dressage horses. Auction4Good supports a good cause: 1% of the proceeds goes to Sportfund ParaPaard.

Auction4Good asked Equine MERC to develop a new website, fitting the character of the auction. They already had the branding and logo and the website had to fit perfectly. We created the website within a month and filled it with content. It is also our responsibility to maintain the website and update when necessary.

The website is now offline.

The Dutch Dressage Championships will be held at the KNHS-centre in Ermelo from July 17th until 19th 2015. Equine MERC is responsible for the entire marketing and communication of this dressage event.

We created the logo, the branding and also the website. The website of the Dutch Dressage Championships provides visitors information for the competitor, the spectator and business clients/sponsors. The websites lay out and content is done by us.

In de Limburgse dorpen Baarlo en Kessel liggen de twee stallen van Stal Hendrix. Het is een internationaal beroemde spring- en handelsstal van de broers Paul en Emile Hendrix.

De website van Stal Hendrix was toe aan een update. Omdat het zorgvuldig vullen van een website veel tijd vergt, heeft Stal Hendrix ons ingehuurd. Binnen een maand hebben we de hele website vernieuwd met nieuwe foto’s en frisse teksten,  zowel Nederlands- als Engelstalig. Stal Hendrix ontvangt veel positieve reacties vanuit binnen- en buitenland.

Naast het vullen van de website is ook het bijhouden ervan een tijdrovende klus. Daarom heeft Stal Hendrix het Social Media & Website jaarabonnement bij ons afgesloten en onderhouden we de website en de Facebookpagina.

Wim Vissers from Stoeterij Vissers from Gemert needed a new website. He already had one that was made by people who know a lot about websites, but do not know much about horses. On behalf of Wim we developed a website that appeals to the target group of Stoeterij Vissers, namely horse people.

The website provides interested parties with information about the philosophy, broodmares and breeding products of Stoeterij Vissers and has a very nice news page. We wrote all content on the site and made almost all photos.

After the site was delivered, Wim chose to conclude the Social Media & Website subscription. With a WhatsApp or email, he lets us know what news there are. Then we write the press release, add the foal, etc. We take everything out of our hands and also include his Social Media and HorseTelex page.
