Instructor Horseback Archery & Horsemanship

ABOUT Siem Horseback archery

I am a competitive horseback archer at the highest level. I am World Champion 2025 Overall and Young riders with the horse Chilli! I have several world records to my name and also the title of European champion. I love to take the wealth of experience that I have towards my lessons. To me it doesn’t matter what level the student is, for me the biggest win is having a person enjoy this lovely sport.

From my passion towards horseback archery I searched for a riding style that works on the premise of mutual trust combined with teaching a horse self carriage from the beginning of his ridden life. Mutual trust and self carriage are very important in horseback archery. In this search I studied the different riding traditions of the past, focusing mostly on the tradition of the Californian Vaqueros. With this constant studying and search of a better horsemanship I have slowly started to develop my own style that is ever evolving.
