Femke Breeuwsma from The Netherlands
Stable Manager at Meadow Brook Equestrian & Rural Activities Centre in Shanghai, China
"In Shanghai I'm responsible for a team of twelve people. Primarily, it's a riding stables, but we're also setting up a stud, either with an English thoroughbred stallion or an Hanoverian. Some parts of the Van Hall Larenstein programme therefore look as if they're going to come in particularly handy - especially the modules in Young Stock Management, dealing with starting a stud for young horses; and Enterprise Analysis, in which we advised a stables on professionalisation."
"Wanted: graduates with a solid dose of horse sense!"
