Pleasure Gaits has been established to promote the Tennessee Walking Horse all over the European continent. Sandra van den Hof is one of the few Tennessee Walker breeders in Europe. Based in Belgium, Pleasure Gaits promotes, imports, breeds, trains, and sells Tennessee Walking Horses with old bloodlines for what they are originally bred for. Sandra is a Centered Riding© Instructor Level II as well as a lifelong horse enthusiast. At Pleasure Gaits, she combined both of those passions to help others enjoy their horses.

A strong advocate for humane treatment of horses, Sandra has cared most of her life for animals who needed special care or attention. Sandra's interest in horsemanship developed as a result of her work to help improve the plight of show horses. What began as a commitment to the simple respectful treatment of horses became a dedication to teaching horses and riders to enjoy each other without artificial barriers. The positive training methods at Pleasure Gaits are applicable to any breed of horse, any age rider, and any riding style. All you need is an open heart.
