De
Valge in Summer and Winter. Always a stunning place....
In
1996 we bought a small farm in Holland. It is a
very charming place, located in one of the very few forestry areas
that Holland has left. It's just a 2 minute horse ride into the
woods, where we can enjoy riding on one of our Icelandic horses. In
1993, we bought our first Icelandic horse. When we moved to the farm,
we bought another one. Since then, some were born, bought or sold,
but we now live at De Valge with most of our 17 icelandic horses, 2 red cats and cochin
chickens. The place is a green lush 2 hectar sanctuary in the center of
busy Holland..... As always I make (too) many pictures, but it is a
place so beautiful that you never tire of it...

De Valge
is an old word from the province of Groningen, and means 'hoog
bouwland'. We kept the old name,
which was given by the lady who
built the house in 1937. We registered the name for the web, e-mail
and for
our icelandic horse stable. De Valge is an official stable
name in the Icelandic horse stud book.
De Valge
is a farm with a very private garden, surrounded by old beech and oak
trees. It is located on a small
country road with hardly and through
traffic. The forest entrances are less than 1 kilometer away. Horse
riding country!
