Arnold Warmels grew up in a picturesque village outside of Amsterdam, called Woerden (The Netherlands). As a chidl, Arnold mirrored his
mother's equestrian passions and began his lifelong love affair with the sport of Dressage. As a youngster he was schooled and competed locally in Dressage.
As time passed and he grew older, Arnold grew fascinated with the sport of Driving, liking "all things fast"! The thought of whipping through obstacles and cross country in a Marathon Cart exhilerated his senses and his passion for the sport of driving was at full throttle.
In the Netherlands, Arnold focused for Sport with the Dutch Warmblood for Combined Driving, and the Friesian for Pleasure Driving. He trained and took seriously the art of lunging.
To America, he has brought with him, Classical Dressage training methods; European Lunging Methods; and the patience and heart of Job to work in a quiet, disciplined manner that is so important to the mental and physical well being of the horse. Over his own self, Arnold puts the health and well being of the horses in his care as top priority.
