What would the Vechtehof be without its team. Thanks to our fantastic staff, our beloved four-legged friends can be well looked after. With passion and dedication, each and every one of them has a watchful eye and knows the idiosyncrasies of their charges very well.
We are incredibly proud to have such a great team, which is there for the horses at all times of the day and night.
Chef of the house
He convinces with his expertise as a trainer. With his commitment as an examiner for Pferdewirte and Pferdewirtschaftsmeister, our trainees have the best conditions to acquire and learn a lot of know-how. The boss personally works each of our young horses on the lunge so that the young stars are optimally prepared for their future tasks as riding horses with calmness and composure.
In addition to his skills as a trainer, Wolfgang Egbers is also a judge up to advanced level, a member of the board of the FN sports department, a member of the board of the DOKR for training and science and 2nd deputy president and chairman of the dressage section of the German Riders’ and Drivers’ Association (DRFV e.V.).
Chef of the house
She is the good soul who not only trains her horses every day with great attention to detail, but also supports the trainees with great passion and lots of advice. On the side, she conjures up a super delicious lunch every day, which makes the whole team happy.
Sabine successfully passed her apprenticeship as a Pferdewirtin as well as the Pferdewirtschaftsmeister with the Stensbeck award and was the youngest graduate of the Pferdewirtschaftsmeister examination at the time she was 21.
She achieved each of the ten S victories for her Golden Riding Badge with a different horse she had trained herself! In the meantime, she has more than 400 victories and placings in competitions up to Grand Prix level to her credit and we hope that many more successes will follow. The main focus of her training and further education programmes is dressage. She works with riders and horses up to Grand Prix level.
3rd year of training classical riding
Although she is actually studying event management, she found her way to our training stable through the student riders in May 2024. She was so taken with the atmosphere and the environment that she decided to make a detour to us on her way. As a passionate show jumper, she has now also discovered her love of dressage and brings a breath of fresh air to our stable.
1st year of training classical riding
We warmly welcome Joulie to the Vechtehof team, who joined us in August 2025. She comes from a family of horse lovers and grew up on a farm. Although she is the youngest member of our team, she has already gained valuable experience up to class S at a young age. We look forward to working with you over the coming years.
2nd year of training husbandry & service
We welcomed Wiebke to the Vechtehof team in August 2025. She previously got a taste of working with horses at the Schürmann stables and gained her first impressions of this profession. We are delighted that she decided to do an apprenticeship and joined us, and that she cares for our four-legged friends with such love and devotion.
1st year of training husbandry & service
We also welcomed Marie to the Vechtehof team in August 2025. She is deeply committed to the welfare of the horses and continues to develop her skills with her own young dressage horse. We greatly appreciate her caring nature towards the horses and are very grateful to have her on board.
The man for all cases
He is a real all-rounder. Not possible? No way! Philipp finds a solution for everything! Whether it’s repairs at the yard, event technology at the shows or videos and photos of our horses for sale. With great attention to detail, he designs and programs new graphics for the event screen and plans the complete power supply and sound system at the shows.
Together with Janet he lived in Hamburg and does research in the field of aeronautical engineering during the week, so that hopefully soon he will be able to call himself Dr. of Mechanical Engineering.
Master of horse management
She is the daughter of the house. Riding was practically in her blood from birth. Thanks to her parents, she was able to join the Weser-Ems squad at a young age, competing in the pony and young rider categories, and went on to join the national squad with her successful horse Daniel Craig and compete in the Piaff Promotion Prize in the U25 Grand Prix. She has won numerous titles in Nations Cups and championships, as well as team gold at the European Championships for aspiring horse managers (EEN). She particularly enjoys training young horses up to the highest level and coaching her students. After eight years in Hamburg, she is now back and is being trained as the successor to the Vechtehof.
Princess of the House
She is smaller than her half-brother Chippy, but the older of the two and she always celebrates her birthday with Wolfgang. She has 7/8 Jack Russell and 1/8 Dachshund in her. That is a very special mixture. Abby is the real boss of the farm. At least that’s what she thinks and, as a well-behaved farm dog, she lets out a loud bark when someone strange comes onto the farm. She also knows her riding horses very well and doesn’t leave her friends’ side when they leave their box.
Prince of the House
He lives up to his breed. If the boss is on his heels and at least one ear is open, you can do a lot of nonsense on a farm. Stealing things is especially popular. That’s for sure: Chippy keeps everyone on their toes and it definitely doesn’t get boring with him. Our little up-and-coming guard dog has realised his job and is completely at home in his role.
