During the period from 1990, the year Wim van der Vorm bought his first horse, up until this day much has happened at the "Margaretha Hoeve".
The Van der Vorm family has known many successes in equestrian sports. The most famous one is the championship won in 1999 with the KWPN certified stallion Athletico who wrote history together with Ben Schroder. But also on World Cup and GP level with Maria Callas. Van Schijndel’s Optical is the most famous offspring of Athletico. But also Not Again and Audi’s Pirouette are quite famous.
In 2005 Wim van der Vorm decided to, as a result of his age and the amount of work, sell the Margaretha Hoeve to Eric Berkhof. This, however, does not imply that the Van der Vorm family stopped working with horses. They still own thirty jumping horses, brood mares and young horses.
On 1 June 2005 Eric Berkhof bought the Margaretha Hoeve to continue what the Van der Vorm family had already started. This, among others, comprises the breeding farm with fifteen brood mares and a sports stable for the riders Vincent Voorn,Ivo Biessen,Louise Saywell Moreover the Hoeve disposes of a training stable. Together these people form the Dutch Audi Team.
Because of the fact that Eric Berkhof is a salesman in heart and soul the trade in jumping horses as well as in young horses and brood mares will increase.
