I came to Tess through Eefje of the company VGGO. We rode together in a ZZ-four with which we were allowed to ride indoor Brabant. We rode with the beautiful bridles of TESS.
Since then I have not been riding anywhere else. I run a professional dressage stable and all our ponies and horses have been running on these bridles for years.
The quality is top notch because the bridles also really stay good for a very long time and the service is even better because you always get a response super fast with a solution. I am a fan!
Since 2025
I saw the bridles passing by on social media. I was immediately excited, especially by the soft pads under the noseband and headpiece, and the nice look it has in general.
Hi, I am Naomi Nouwen and I am 24 years old. I work as a nurse at Intensive Care in ZMK, Belgium. For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about horses. After long urging my parents, I got my first pony at the age of 7. Although Siska was not the easiest pony, she taught me how to ride and persevere.
Since then, my hobby has become my passion and has only grown over the years. We have our own stable in Dilsen-Stokkem (Belgium) with a number of sport horses and a few brood mares. I ride 4 horses myself at national level. I ride Frevo at small tour level and hope to take him to the Grand Prix. Frevo is a 10-year-old gelding. We bought him when he was 4 years old and trained him together with Niels Bax to the level we are at now. Together with Frevo I have already experienced many great moments including my2nd place at the Belgian Championship in 2019. Also with Villeneuve I ride Small Tour, he is my ‘teacher’ to transfer new exercises to the younger horses. Besides my 2 adult horses, I have two 6-year-olds at my disposal. Je suis Spécial, with him I ride the cycle young horses. With him I rode the grand final young horses and achieved a nice 6th place with a score of +81%. I am also training Calibrio. Calibrio is a 6 year old approved stallion by Blue Horse Don Olymbrio who we are preparing for the FEI 6 year olds.
I really enjoy working with my horses on a daily basis. They love to be trained and pampered. I have achieved several nice results with all my horses. So I am 3x Limburg Champion, 1x Flemish Champion, several podiums and victories at national competitions, a 6th place in the grand final of the BK young horses and last year a2nd place at the Belgian Championship with Frevo.
Riding young horses, seasoned horses, stallions,…each horse requires its own approach. I do find it important that I can always work with them in a horse-friendly way; without losing control. That’s why Tess’ bridles are really recommended. I have been riding with Tess’ bridles since 2018. My horses and I are extremely happy with this fine collaboration. In addition to the very chic look and wide choice of bridles, my horses walk incredibly well because of the anatomical shape of the bridles and the quality soft leather. What is good for the horse must also be good for the rider and vice versa. I learned this with Tess and I will never give in on either again.
I like TESS a nice brand to have bridles from because the price quality is very neat and you can get the fit perfect by putting the separate elements together.
Tessa had just started (2018) when I used my first TESS Bridle, from then on I was all over it. The fit is great, top quality leather and of course they are also super pretty to look at.
I got in touch with Tessa through another ambassador, and from there we started a mega fine collaboration.
My horses are performing at top level partly because of her. The bridles are not only incredibly beautiful but also very nice to use.
Through friend Eefje van Griensven-Marinus, I came into contact with TESS Products several years ago. My horses (as well as myself) love the TESS bridles, where especially the fine fit and soft leather are a big plus. The personalized Swarovski front straps complete the picture!
In addition, Tessa is always on hand to provide me with expert advice on bridles and bits. Everything needed to go for top performance.
From the moment I saw a TESS bridle for sale, I knew I had just found my new favorite bridle; they immediately caught my attention. Nothing beats the quality, padding, colors and customization options.
I have recommended them to many people, and now they are as obsessed with them as I am. The nosebands stand out among the rest and get so many compliments. I want my horses to be as comfortable as possible while working, and I know they are in TESS bridles.
It feels an honor to be able to be an ambassador for a company I believe in so much. All my horses in training wear TESS bridles, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The company also has a personal connection, as one of my sisters is named Tess, so it all feels like it was meant to be! So grateful to be part of the team!
