E.S.R.V. Concorde in Eindhoven

ESRV Concorde is the sports association for all students in and around Eindhoven with an interest in horses. Our association has been active for around 20 years in the student life of Eindhoven. Every week we offer dressage lessons for all levels of experience at the stables ‘Sonniushof’ in Son. Luckily, we don’t have to bicycle towards the stables, but we can use the vans of the sports center. On top of the regular dressage lessons, we also organize a beginner course during which you can learn the basics of horseback riding within ten weeks! Afterwards, you can move onto the regular lessons. We also offer monthly jumping lessons for the more experienced equestrians.
Besides all these lessons, we also organize a lot of activities. Some of them are related to horseback riding like a jumping clinic for every level of experience, archery on horseback and even our own Ponycamp, but also many which are not related to horseback riding.
Optionally, you can show off all the skills you have learned in one of the 12 national student competitions or at one of our own internal competition. All of them are for all levels of experience and of course lots of fun!

Geschiedenis van de vereniging

E.S.R.V. Concorde stands for ‘Eindhovense Studenten RijVereniging Concorde’. This association stands for all students who study in and around Eindhoven and is established at November 3th in 2000.

History of ESRV Concorde:
Our association started at the stables Sonniushof with one single lesson every week, namely on Wednesday from 19 ‘o clock until 20 ‘o clock. Currently, Concorde members are still riding in this lesson. However, we have expanded towards several weekly dressage lessons and even one monthly jumping lesson.
While Concorde has started with a small group of members, we have grown towards a group of 45 members and approximately 30 contributors.
Contributors have been member of Concorde in the past and still enjoy Concorde so much that they still attend to our activities and some even kept riding within our lessons.

Where did our name come from?
E.S.R.V. Concorde was named after the famous KWPN stallion who was bred at our stable: Sonniushof. This stallion was born in 1984 as a son of Voltaire and Flyer. Olympic Concorde won with Jos Lansink among other things the Big Price of Nordrhein-Westfalen at Aken. They also became champion of the Netherlands in 1994.

Nowadays, Concorde is mainly known as the producer of many top jumping horses, nationally as well as internationally. Concorde is, for example, the father of two world champions, namely Loncorde and Larone. In 2002 Concorde was nominated as a preferential stallion. During the same year, he earned the title ‘Leading Sire’ in division jumping in America. On February 7th in 2004 Concorde was nominated as KWPN horse of the year 2003.
