TEAM SYNOVIUM

Our products are used by our successful ambassadors in the sport.

Stud farm Sterrehof

At Sterrehof Stud quality is the main theme, in every respect. It all adds up to our goal: from foal to Olympic horse. Parallel to this long and ambitious track is our vision, forming the very basis of the ways we run and manage our business. We start from genetically interesting horses with substantial top sport potential. For this talent to fully prosper we create the best possible environmental conditions, starting from optimal care and management. A number of aspects at our yard secure the horses’ welfare. Sterrehof Stud was a herald in this respect ten years ago and continues to be an inspiration ever since.

Veronique Swagemakers

Veronique graduated in 2004 at The Veterinary University of Utrecht. She co-owned an equine clinic in Mol Belgium for a couple of years specialised in equine medicine. Since 2008 she and her colleague Sebastiaan Donker own a dressage training stable where Veronique successfully trained many horses from young age up to PSG and inter II level. In 2009 she started her own equine sports medicine practice: Equine Performance Center. The combination of being a rider and sports veterinarian created a more overlooking view on her work.

Katja Tucker-Gevers

My name is Katja Tucker-Gevers and together with Thriller I successfully drove an international Grand Prix for 7 years. Together we have also been a member of the Olympic framework for several years. Thriller is now enjoying his competition pension and thanks to the supplements from Synovium he is still in top shape!
In the meantime, of course, I train very intensively at home to get back to the top!

Anouk Frieling

I am Anouk Frieling and I have been working as a representative at Synovium since December 2022.
I have had a passion from an early age
for horses and the equestrian sector.
Because of my passion for the equestrian sector and the interest in turning this passion into my job, I started studying animal and livestock farming at the HAS University of Applied Sciences in Den Bosch. After completing the Bachelor Animal and Livestock Farming in 2020, I started the Master Equine Sciences at Aberystwyth University in Wales to
to gain more specific knowledge, based on scientific research, mainly in the field of horse nutrition. In 2021 I successfully completed this master and graduated. After my studies in Wales I gained a year of work experience as an equine nutrition expert in England. I then returned to the Netherlands and have been working at Synovium ever since.

Robbin Kleermans

My name is Robbin Kleermans and I have my own dressage stable located in Lunteren, Gelderland. My horses range from well-approved studs to international in the sport. I have several horses that I currently compete in the (inter)national small tour. This year, I hope to compete two horses at national and international Grand Prix level. I am also active in the regular competitive sport and ride many young horse competitions, such as the Pavo Cup. Besides training horses, I teach and coach my students.

I have been using Synovium supplements for my horses for years! At the time, my vet/osteopath recommended the Megabol and Myocare-E. I had experience with various supplements for muscle building but never really got the right results. Until using the Megabol! This triggered me to try more supplements and I really liked this too! I am therefore more than happy and proud that I can now call myself Synovium ambassador! With the right training and support for each horse, I try to get the best out of it every day.
