Ellen Hansen

My name is Ellen Hansen. I was born in the United States, where I grew up riding hunters. Now I have the privilege of running my own business in the Netherlands, combining my passion for hunters and equitation with my love for show jumping. I have both horses and ponies. Because of this diversity of horses and disciplines, I have to feed each animal according to its specific needs. Florian makes this possible.

I primarily use Basic Growth, Fiber Impact and Slow Fit. This combination is ideal for my hunters: it supports healthy weight gain and a shiny coat without making the horses too fresh or awkward in the American riding style. For my jumpers or horses that need to build muscle mass, I use Power Fit. MultiBeet Xtra is perfect for horses that come in too thin or have a sensitive stomach. What I love about Florian Horsefood is that they focus on natural ingredients and supporting healthy digestion. This ensures that my horses and ponies are happy and ready to perform at their best.

One of my favorite horses right now is Nupona’s Hermès, a six-year-old mare. She is incredibly bossy toward other horses, but loves people. Mares always win my heart because once you build a bond with them, they will do anything for you. Hermès is no exception. It has been an amazing journey getting to know each other and forming a pair. I trained her myself and enjoy every milestone moment.
