        Hello, I am Ralph van Venrooij. In my dayjob, I look after the Breeding Department of the KWPN, which has given me a fantastic insight into promoting excellence in sport horse breeding. I am very excited to be involved with the WBFSH as the Executive Board Member for the Marketing department and to be a member of our small but passionate team. I am particularly interested the ongoing development of global sport horse breeding.
