From Audi Team to Van Mossel Team

A rich history in equestrian sports

Since 1994, the Van Mossel Team, formerly known as the Audi Team, has been a prominent name in international equestrian sports. With the continued support of the Van Mossel Automotive Group, the team has proven itself at the highest level and continues to grow. The rebranding from Audi Team to Van Mossel Team in 2024 marks a new milestone in this rich history. This change symbolises the strengthened partnership with Van Mossel Automotive Group and underscores the commitment to developing young talent and elevating horses to the highest level. This new chapter in the team’s history places emphasis not only on performance but also on growth and innovation within the world of equestrian sports.

The current riders: ambition and talent in the Van Mossel Team

At the heart of the Van Mossel Team lies a strong and ambitious group of riders. Kim Emmen, the experienced and successful lead rider, has built an impressive track record. With horses such as Imagine, Nash vh Lilleveld and Kaiser DMH, she has made her mark on the international equestrian scene. Her partnership with Imagine in 2023 marked a turning point in her career and propelled her to new heights.

Since February 2025, the team has been strengthened by the arrival of a promising new talent: Nano Healy. This skilled rider from Ireland, born in 1998, brings not only international competition experience but also fresh energy and sharp focus. With his analytical mindset, natural connection with horses and constant drive for improvement, he is a valuable addition to the team.

Together, Kim and Nano form a versatile, ambitious and determined riding duo, ready to take on new challenges and reach the top of international show jumping.

The driving force behind success

Collaboration and dedication

The strength of the Van Mossel Team extends beyond the riders. A dedicated team of professionals, including five motivated grooms, plays a crucial role in the daily management of the horses. They ensure the health, well-being, and continuous development of the animals, enabling them to perform at their best. Under the leadership of Eric Berkhof, CEO of Van Mossel Automotive Group, the team receives strategic support in their ambition to dominate international equestrian sports.

Eric Berkhof’s vision to develop talented riders and horses is reflected in the collaboration with De Margaretha Hoeve. This synergy has not only led to the name change but has also strengthened and focused the team. With a solid foundation, talented riders, and a dedicated support team, the Van Mossel Team is well-equipped for a future full of performance and growth.
