Yiannis Vassiliou has been with horses since 1983. He competed in National Show Jumping competitions in Greece and was Greek Junior Champion in 1987.
In 1989 he went to England and studied BSC Sports Science alongside completing a British Show Jumping Association program in course building and design.
On his return to Greece in 1994, he began working with the Hellenic Equestrian Federation for six years. His main duties being organizing shows, course building and responsible for the horse transport to International events for which he still is today.
His great love and passion for horses has enabled him to build a reliable first class company where the horses are handled with utmost care and attention.
Gradually demand for the transport of racehorses, show jumpers, leisure horses and dressage horses to and from Greece increased as did Yiannis business. Today trips to many other destinations such as the following countries, England, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Switzerland, Cyprus, Denmark and Sweden are undertaken on a regular basis.
