Moving to Holland - i try again :-)

Link naar dit bericht Geplaatst door de TopicStarter : 20-12-05 22:52

Hello

Yesterday i tried to get registreret and unfortunately i picked exactly the same username and password as somebody else - sorry about that. I understand that some of you got very confused!
Now i am registered under my second name - Hvidtfeldt.

I try again - and this is the same text as yesterday.

I am a danish girl and i am moving to Holland together with my family within the next 4 months. We are going to live in Wassenaar close to Den Haag.

I have a Haflinger and of course he is going to move to Holland as well.

So now i am looking for at place where he can stay. He loves to be outside, playing with other horses and hates to stay too many hours inside in his box. When i visited Wassenaar this weekend i saw that it was very wet in this area and in the riding-schools the horses where inside. Do you know if there is anywhere in this area where my horse could stay and still spent a lot of the daytime outside?

Sorry - my english is not to well - anyway i try my best - and probably i will get better when i live in Holland where i can practise a lot more. (A lot of danes say it is very difficult to learn to speak the hollandish language - and they say that the people in Holland speak very well english.)

Regards
Elisabeth Hvidtfeldt

Hey,

First of all: is Hvidtfeldt your last name? I was staring at it and i´m wondering what´s the right way to pronounce it. I like it

I live in Utrecht and i don´t think i can help you with your "problem"
I just wanted to say welcome and i hope to read more from you.

I´m just wondering: why are you moving to Holland?

Groetjes (greetings;))
Paulien

in Wassenaar there is "Stal Heijsteck" (Blankenhoeve?)
it's at the Buurtweg.
They do have opportunity for the horses to be outside. Even in winter (well, at least it wa slike that a few years ago!)
furthermore it's pretty close to the beach and dunes...

hi Elisabeth, welcome in holland and @ bokt.nl! I hope you enjoy it here! Why are you moving to Holland? I don't know a stable for your horse, I live in the south from Holland. My horse also living outside and I think that's possible by many farmers. They are cheap but they don't have many other facillities. Enjoy your stay and I hope you find a nice place to stay for your horse!

@ Stravero: Wat probeer je te zeggen? Kan er niet veel van maken!


Hey Elisabeth!
Welcome here at Bokt.nl, I hope you'll enjoy it!
But be careful, it's VERY addicting!
Unfortunately I can't help you with your problem, for I live in Southern Holland!
Anyway, Good Luck!

Welkom ad Bokt.
So, you are going to move to the place where our crown prince lives. I've never been in Wassenaar, so I can't help you to find a place for you horse to stay. I live in groningen, the high north of Holland, and I also have a Haflinger. (pictures in my profile)
I can tell you that a lot of farmers have stables for rent, and the horses can mostley be outside, if you wish. Our you can just rent a piece of land and build a shelter there. Maybe you could look already for a stable in Wassenaar using google. I think you could best use www.google.nl with the keywords: Wassenaar pensionsstal.

Good luck with your search and moving here.

Well, learning Dutch might be not too difficult for you. Although there are lots of differences between your mother tongue and mine, there are similarities as well. I'm working at an scientific institute which is equipped with an international staff, people are literally from everywhere over the world. And.. most of them are perfectly able to learn Dutch, but... it takes some effort. So, try your newly lerned Dutch on some native speakers... I like to do that
(and yes, our English is fine and we like to show that to foreigners... so quite a lot of people will conversate in English to you as well).

I'm not from the area of Den Haag/Wassenaar, so I cannot recommend you a stable or riding school.

Winter is usually the wettest season in the Netherlands and as long as almost the whole western part of our country is below sealevel... countrysides are therefore wet in wintertime. Not every farmer likes it to have horses outside, where they easily trample all grass to mud.. So that's why a lot of horses are inside during wintertime, for whole days or parts of it.

Hello, welcome to Bokt! I hope you wil enjoy your stay in the Neterlands and ofcours your time on Bokt. Maybe a good place to practice your Dutch? It's a difficult language to learn, so good luck.

In the Netherlands, we have a very popular site called www.marktplaats.nl. A bit like Ebay. Maybe you can give that a try? Go to 'Dieren en Toebehoren' (animals and things regarding animals) and then to 'Stalling en Weidegang' (stables and meadows/fields). Bokt itself has a simular service, called 'Eenmaal, andermaal... Verkocht!'. If you need any help with searching or translating, just let me know.

Hi Elisabeth,

I know a few Danish girls who are also living near Wassenaar with their horses. One has her horses in Katwijk, the other has stabled her horse in Wassenaar.

Near Wassenaar there are living quite a few Danish people (with horses as well ).

Hello Elisabeth, first of all, welcome to Holland.

I live near Utrecht, so I'm not really famillair to the region Wassenaar is in. I did google a little, for it will be very hard for you ro find anything reasonable on our dutch webpages

These ara a few links to websites from stables in Wassenaar. I don't know wheter any of these have the facility's you want for your horse, but you can allways give them a call

http://www.paardengidsagenda.nl/Page/Ned/Detail/ZUIDHOLLAND39.html (scroll all the way down)

http://www.paardengidsagenda.nl/Page/Ned/Detail/ZUIDHOLLAND1.html (these are ridingschools, I don't know wheter they also have facilitys to bring your own horse, but give it a try )

(and just have a look at www.paardensport.nu , under the heading "pensionstallen-zuid holland")

I think you'll like it in that area, for the beach is very near. There are allways lots of horses on the beaches near Wassenaar, so you en your Haflinger will enjoy yourselves

Hello again

Link naar dit bericht Geplaatst door de TopicStarter : 23-12-05 00:01

Hello everybody!

First of all - i got so happy when i saw that so many people said wellcome to Holland! It is a wonderfull feeling!!!! Thanks a lot!

I am moving to Holland because my husband is going to work for a danish company in Den Haag. We have 2 children, 10 and 13 years. I am working as a social worker in Denmark. We are all looking very much forward to moving to another country and the children are very happy and excited. I guess they don't really realise that they are leaving their friends here yet. But they are going to make new friends in Holland!

I am so thankfull for all your answers - i am going to look all the informations abouts stables through and I am sure that we are going to find a place for Oliver, my haflinger. In these days i am quite busy because of x-mas. When are you celebrating x-mas? Is it the 24th or the 25th of december?

My second name is Hvidtfeldt, and we pronouce it Witfelt ...

In Denmark we have a internet site called hestenettet - the horse-net. I know it's very easy to get addicted .... i spent a lot of time there - all though i am not one of the youngest persons ... i am 35 years. Im looking forward to know a lot of you.

Groetjes
Elisabeth
