Our breeding of appaloosas and spotted ponies in the Netherlands, with stallion Nevada as a constant. Health, friendliness and character come first: every foal grows up in the herd, among people, dogs and children.
Welcome to Human & Horse Heart Stud. Horse love is at the heart of both what we do and how we do it. Our mission is simple: to bring happiness to people and horses by bringing them together. We do this through our own breeding programme, and by putting you in touch with reliable breeders within our network.
The emphasis is on health, friendliness and character. We screen every horse member of our Heart Stud for health, behaviour and welfare. This page is a good starting point for your search, but we always encourage you to meet the ponies, horses and our breeding stallion Nevada in person at our location in Kootwijkerbroek, the Netherlands.

Nevada is a real family horse and loves attention. As a stallion he lives together with Shetlanders and Greetje's other horses, which shows his social character: calm and polite to handle and very reliable with children.
As a horse he is all-round, a powerhouse with plenty of ability. Lovely in the woods, lovely to work with in every discipline and extremely strong. We see those qualities again in his offspring. Nevada may cover any breed and you are welcome to come and meet him.
From our own breeding and from our network we regularly have spotted foals and young ponies or horses available. For more photos and prices, call Greetje on +31 6 43542645.

I very consciously chose Nevada as the father of my foal. I really wanted to breed a future horse for myself. The goal was a horse that would truly become your soulmate. A future all-round sports horse, which could make you happy with a quiet ride in the woods as well as with riding a show jumping course. One that radiates peace, because with 2 fairly 'hot' KWPN members at home I really needed that, and if possible, also with a nice dotted pattern. ;) I can say on many points that this was absolutely successful. We have a beautiful brown Appaloosa foal from my brown KWPN star mare (Arthos R x Glendale). Takoda is a super gentle, sweet stallion. He has radiated a lot of peace since birth and loves to cuddle. He already really feels like my soulmate and I couldn't have imagined a nicer foal. Every day with him is a pleasure and I am very curious to see how he will develop further! 🥰
In addition to my horse Shiva, I once wanted a pony. Not only as a buddy for her, but also for driving and of course groundwork. But those were dreams of the future... Until a very special pony literally plopped down on my lap in Greetje's herd. How I laughed at the vice and brutality oozing from that pony, what a rascal. Although it wasn't for sale yet (and I didn't have a spot yet), the match didn't go unnoticed. Greetje not only sees and feels the match between man and horse, but is also always willing to think along with you. This gives me the chance to go on an adventure with little mischievous Loki 🥰
