        I am Céline from Belgium, a young, ambitious woman who, as the director of BWP (Belgian Warmblood Horse), is steering the organization towards a fresh and innovative path. With a passion for horses and a deep-rooted respect for breeding, I try to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation. I recently took over the role as Chief Financial Officer of the WBFSH.

        My love for horses began at a young age. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a professional calling.

        I believe in creating an open and dynamic environment, I am determined to bring a new wind to the organization with improved communication, and even closer collaboration with members and breeders. I aim not only to achieve results for the Belgian Warmblood horse but also to make a positive impact on the future of the World Breeding Federation. I hope I can do so in my role as CFO for the organization.

        I am Stephan Kelchtermans, Vice President of the WBFSH. It was a great pleasure to join the Finance Department in 2017. Through my veterinary position with the BWP, I have known Rudi for many years. As a veterinary surgeon who specialises in gynecology and orthopedics, the work of the WBFSH in providing more and more reliable data on breeding and performance, as well as the initiatives of the Science Advisory Group are particularly close to my heart, as they will help us build more credibility and improve equine health and welfare.
