Niels and Lars Kersten: Twin Work Makes the Dream Work
“We want to get the best out of our horses, the best out of ourselves. Who ends on top, it doesn’t really matter. We don’t see it as a rivalry. You really have to put in the work, don’t be afraid afraid to work.
Setbacks: try to see them as a learning process. Keep working on ourself and if you have small setback don’t get all negative, really keep working on yourself.”
