About us | Bakken Dessage

Who are we?

Bakken Dressage is run by Silje Bakken and Michael Møller Flintrup. Both of them are examined master riders with many years of experience with quality horses.

Bakken Dressage resides at the family farm Lunding Nørregård. The farm is located 5 km east of Haderslev in scenic surroundings with lots of space and atmosphere.

The farm was originally bought by Michael’s great grandfather. Now it is the fourth generation of the Møller family, who runs the farm.

The beautiful property has throughout the years been converted from a smaller farm with dairy cattle to a highly distinguished sales and training stable for quality dressage horses.

At Bakken Dressage, decency and therefore openness and transparency about the collaboration with our customers is an important value, so that you as a horse owner feel safe throughout the process. It is on our mind to include you 100% in our assessments, so that we together can make the best decisions for you and your horse.

Passion

We at Bakken Dressage can only do our work at the high level we are known for, with pure passion for the tasks and the goal of being among the best. When we attract customers, employees and stakeholders, it is our desire that they feel this passion and become part of it. It is the main essence of the good horsemanship and the top professional training we offer – and it creates motivation and joy to give our best on a daily basis.

Whether it concerns the sale or education of your horse, we guarantee that the task will be solved professionally. We challenge our processes on a daily basis in order to be able to turn with the world around us and ensure you a modern handling of the task and a high-quality result. We emphasize being changeable, agile and innovative, in order to achieve the optimal result every day.

Quality

Therefore, only the best is good enough and there is a high focus on quality, whether it concerns chiropractors, blacksmiths, veterinarians, feed suppliers or other influencers that are important for your horse’s well-being. Our partnerships are long-lasting, close and based on a reflection of our set of values – decency, passion, professionalism and innovation and quality.
