Do you want to be a part of Helgstrand Youngsters, where all our young horses start their career as riding horses?
And do you want to be a part of the preparation of the stallions that will go to the stallions shows and licensings ex. in Herning and abroad? At Helgstrand Youngsters you will work with the future breeding stallions and upcoming stars.
