Growing up in the horse world, I began competing at a young age across Hungary and neighboring countries. At 16, a summer internship at Beerbaum Stables opened the door to a different level of the sport, and the following year I became part of the Hungarian Junior Team. That early connection eventually brought me to Riesenbeck permanently at the age of 18.
In 2023, I decided to step away from professional riding while remaining closely involved in the industry. Today, I work with MediaStables, supporting the management and organization of the year-round events at Riesenbeck International.
It was also at Beerbaum Stables that I met Nicolas. Over time we became close friends and we shared the same views when it comes to horse welfare, particularly during transport. Having both worked with top-level sport horses, we experienced firsthand what the highest standards of horse transport should look like. Together, we founded this company with the goal of providing the same level of care, safety, and professionalism that top sport horses receive.
Over the next decade at Beerbaum Stables, I gained firsthand experience working with some of the highest-level sport horses and international competitions. Being part of this environment shaped my understanding of professionalism, horse management, and the standards required at the very top of the sport.

My path into the horse world began when I was 19. Coming from a farming background, I had not worked with horses before, but that changed when I took a job as a handyman at a riding school in France. Being around horses quickly became something I enjoyed, and that is where my learning process began. Starting from zero, I learned the fundamentals of handling and working with horses during this first experience.
In 2019, I moved to a breeding stable (Le Haras des M), where I gained valuable experience handling and transporting foals, yearlings, and breeding stallions. During this time, I developed a deeper understanding of horse management, care, and the importance of transporting horses properly and safely.
After some time, I felt ready for a new challenge and decided to move to Germany. My first position there was in a dressage stable, where I worked as a groom for the first time.
In 2021, I had the opportunity to join Beerbaum Stables and work with Eoin McMahon as a home groom. Very soon, I began travelling to shows with Eoin and took on the role of show groom.
In 2024, when Eoin left Beerbaum Stables to start his own stable together with Wilma Hellström, I chose to follow him, and we have continued working together ever since.
During these years, I met Richie, and we quickly became friends. Both of already have logged countless miles across the map attending competitions across Europe and also overseas. Through these experiences, we gained a deep understanding of what horses need during transport and international travel. With our company, we want to bring that knowledge and experience together to ensure that every horse receives the highest level of care, professionalism, and attention during transport.
