Jos den Blanken – Founder and owner of Amstel Horse Hotel

Jos has more than 25 years’ experience in traveling with horses. From 1988 when he was an animal-steward at KLM, he escorted and cared for all kinds of animals. Lions, giraffes, tigers and polar bears all belong to his wide range of 'customers'. But the bulk of his clientele have always been the horses. Like no other he knows how horses can react to a long and tiring journey. In creating Amstel Horse Hotel, he meets a need: an affordable place where horses can recover from the hectic travel so they can continue their journey well rested.

Jos is surrounded by a team of people who put all their efforts in making the horses as comfortable as possible.
