All Horse Act activities take place in Stiltehoeve Hof van 't Rommersum , a place where people and horses can be themselves in complete serenity. The location is authentic, inspiring and guarantees a unique experience.
At our location of 3,5 hectares we have a meeting room for 10 to 12 people, a gypsy wagon for indoor sessions for up to 6 people, several walking parks with tracks, meadows, an outdoor track, a round pen, a picadero, the Rommersum Café, an extensive outdoor terrace and sufficient parking available. Since last year, we also have our own vineyard on the estate.

Thank you again for creating such an unforgettable experience. You gave my sister a birthday gift that she will cherish forever. I will definitely recommend you to friends and family who are interested in similar workshops."

“Lander really triggered something in me today. What an empathetic, wise soul. I have a feeling he still has a lot to teach me — so much. What a gift.”

“The digital questionnaire was actually my preparation for an encounter with one of the horses at Horse Act. I answered it as truthfully and deeply as possible — the more information I provided, the more accurate the analysis could be, I thought. Triggered by the questions, I then scheduled a live session with one of the horses at Hof van ’t Rommersum. It turned out to be a beautiful complement to the initial questionnaire — and also a confronting one. Ilse Melotte had carefully selected the horse for me based on my preparation, choosing the one that would mirror exactly where my growth potential lay and where I wasn’t yet fully using my strengths. It’s a wonderful form of guidance, connection, development, discovery, confrontation, and renewal. Experiencing a session with Lander, the anchor stallion, under Ilse’s professional guidance was a privilege. Highly recommended for anyone who embraces connection and personal growth.” – Nancy

“Dear Ilse,
Coaching means going into depth. But it's so nice to give each other feedback in the middle of the horses. Forget everything for a moment and pay attention to yourself. And pay attention to pain points, to allow them to surface and release without too much pain. Indeed in a place in the here and now. Realizing that we are all perfectly fine. We can be there. Thank you. I return home with a warm feeling and a broad smile. Grateful and full of love. Love Marijke”

“They hit the nail on the head — the observations, comments, and insights my horse coach noted during the scan session. They perfectly captured how I felt in that moment, who I am, and where I still have some room to grow. And that report afterwards… I have no words for it. How is that even possible?”

"The Horse Power Scan was a truly eye-opening experience. Without needing many words, the horses showed me how I really show up — in life and in my work. What energy I radiate, how I use (or block) my inner strength, and where I still hold myself back. The session took place in the peaceful surroundings of the Horse Act retreat, in a natural, safe environment where you immediately feel: I can just be myself here. Ilse and her team guide the process with care and without judgment — but it’s the horses who do the real work: pure, intuitive, and honest. You immediately sense what’s aligned — and what’s not. I discovered that I often try too hard, while it’s actually my softness that allows for true connection. That insight hit me deeply, not because someone told me, but because I felt it — through the horse’s response to my presence. The combination of the typetest results, the live interaction with the horse, and the debriefing afterwards makes this a very transformative journey. No fluff, just clear and meaningful feedback you can actually use — both in your professional and personal life... the Horse Power Scan is an absolute must."

was very much on my mind before, all the time actually. But during the sessions I was quietly invited to witness that horsepower, to embrace it… Fear gives way to confidence. How beautiful how the exercises with the horses are a great metaphor for what is happening deep within me. The area is the ideal setting. Very natural and you immediately feel at home, not judged and without expectations. Everything is OK. Rommersum, they are the right people in the right place

“Dear Els and Ilse,
Thanks for the 3 cool back to basics days. It was a great awakening between the horses, birds and swallows. Dissined with a nice breakfast and fresh eggs. We found it a very nice and educational workshop with Ilse and we will definitely try to continue. Good luck to you. Greetings, Heidi, Caitlin and Meaghan”
