About Us

Completed in 2018, our facility was designed to provide the North West with a world-class venue for all equestrian needs. Based in Cheshire, close to the Welsh border, Van Egmond Stables boasts some of the best facilities in the UK.

Owner and resident trainer Nicole Chin-on Richards (pictured left) is passionate about dressage. After a riding career, mainly working with youngsters, in her native Holland, Nicole moved to the UK in  2010. Her vision was to create an equestrian facility in Cheshire with first-class facilities.

Supported by her husband, and encouraged by their daughter Hailey (pictured right), the vision became a reality and Van Egmond Stables was born.

Nicole’s passion for dressage includes breeding, training and competing. In her search for perfection, Nicole engaged with top riders to create a training programme for riders of all levels.
