Elisabeth started riding at 7, and thanks to her passion for horses, her parents bought a house next to one of the largest Belgian stables to enable her to ride every day. She participated in jumping, dressage and eventing competitions.

Putting horses on hold while studying and starting her professional career, Elisabeth earned a Masters in Business Administration from the Harvard Business School and worked for several multinational companies including Mc Kinsey & Cy, ABB Services Worldwide in Belgium and IBM in Belgium as well as IBM’s world headquarters in Armonk, New York.

Elisabeth returned to horses after a ten year hiatus and chose to pursue her interest in dressage. Training with Bénédicte Renson, Nick Van Laer, Claudia Kircheiss and Andrea Muller-Kersten, Elisabeth achieved results in Small Tour competitions with Woody Allen (Winner of the Level 5 Challenge LEWB, participated in CDI of Vierzon and Vidauban) and Karajan (CDI Vidauban). She obtained encouraging results in Young Horses and other classes with Connor (Winner of the 6 Year old Challenge and third of the Level 4 Challenge of the LEWB) and Harriet Houdini (Winner of the 5 Year old, second of the 6 Year old and winner of the Level 4 Challenge of the LEWB).

Today, she is based on a renovated farm from the late XVIIIth Century located south of Brussels. Elisabeth continues to train several dressage horses whilst overseeing the proper operations of the stables.

In 2021, Antoinette returned to her first love of dressage and joined the EMC2 team. After a year in Belgium, she headed to Wellington to spend the winter in the warmth and experience a competition season USA version. A unique and enriching experience that totally seduced Antoinette.
