Horsepower
Join me on a journey-in-pictures into the world of working horses. Together with my good friend and partner in this project, Carin Smolders, we wondered: Is there still a place for the working horse in Western-European 21st century society?
Publication of our coffee-table style photobook is expected around June 2026. Can’t wait that long? Check out the project page to meet some of the hard-working horses and preorder the book. Also, visit our socials for sneak-peeks and behind-the-scenes material. Secure your share of the world of working horses by preordering our book here.
Driven by curiosity and our love for horses, we ventured deep into the world of the original horsepower. We crisscrossed the Netherlands and Belgium looking for today’s equine workforce, and we found them in over 20 jobs. From gentle giants working the land to tiny therapy horses, they are keeping cultural heritage alive and fulfill the needs of modern-day society. In many of our lives, the working horse still has a major role to play.
