Nancy was born in the seaside town of Blankenberge, Belgium and grew up in her family run hotel. Her love of horses began at the tender age of six and she started her first horse related job at sixteen, working for a regional champion. By the age of 21 she had joined the team of Jean Claude Van Geensberge, a two time winner of the Aachen Grand Prix. This acclaim took her through Europe, where she worked for such legends as Eddie Macken (four time winner of the Hichstead derby, second at world championships at Aachen in 1976 and numerous grend prix), Dirk Hafemeister (team gold at Seoul, team gold W.E.G the Haag, 5th at the world cup finals in Shertogenbosch), and Jan Tops (team gold at Barcelona, Individual 6th in Seoul), and also for Almox at the sam time Ludger Beerbaum brought back the gold medal from Barcelona.

All these great riders and their vets have given her their insight as to how to take care of horses under all conditions, traveling by truck, ship or plane, to most venues around the world, rain or shine. She brings 37 years of experience - riding, teaching and currently running the Las Vegas Equestrian Center. She speaks five languages, Flemish, French, German, English and Spanish.
