About Francois

The Right Horse,
For the Right Rider.

After graduating from the University of Leiden's law school, Francois Reesink followed his true calling — horses. That decision, made over 25 years ago, has resulted in one of the most respected sport horse brokerages in the world.

Based in Eibergen in the heart of the Netherlands, Francois has cultivated a network across Europe's finest breeding farms, training yards, and show circuits. His deep knowledge of bloodlines, movement, and rideability means clients get more than a horse — they get the right match.

The United States has been his primary market for over two decades. From Wellington and Ocala to leading programs across North America, KingHorses is the independent European link between clients, trainers and the right horses: straight advice, careful matching, vetting coordination and export guidance from first conversation to arrival.
