"Lana has a super good feeling for a horse, she is very friendly and consequent working with her horses, she spends a lot of time with them and you can see the horses are happy and looking good."
Nico Witte
An entrepreneur and the founder of Stal Witte (Netherlands).
His remarkable talent for identifying future champions and his decades of dedication to equestrian sport have made him widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in the international horse industry.
He is the scouter of such renowned stallions as Jazz, Franklin, Ampere, Bretton Woods, Cennin, Charmeur, Wynton, Las Vegas and many more.
"I had been judging Lana throughout many seasons and saw her development from the judge’s booth from her children’s to her senior years. She has competed self trained horses already at a young age and developed them wonderfully, even those with no natural talent. She sees something in the horse when it is hard to see anything, then she commits to them and believes in them, and that’s where her successes speak for themselves.
She is a very sympathetic rider and finds approach to difficult horses. All of the horses she worked with changed for the better in her care, they look really well, correctly muscled and are happy to be at the shows."

"Hi Lana! Sending you this message because of something wonderful that happened. When you rode my horse - you put a spell on him! It was a miracle what you did. Because afterwards he was better than ever! And the next person who came to try him ended up buying him, after a few months of me struggling with that.
You have a magic touch with horses. And what I wanted to suggest, is you should start your own business and I am sure it will become very successful because everyone wants a “magical” rider! Let’s grab a cup of coffee and talk about that!" (at this point Ghislaine did not know I already had a company:)

"Lana and I were syndicate members together, she is thoughtful and thorough in her approach, she takes her time to think out solutions and is totally dedicated to solving a problem. She is easy to communicate with, is realistic and notices all the details. This makes her an ideal business partner, whether as a rider or an investor."
