10x national champion

1984: Heddie

In a relatively short period of time, Arthur, already with the help of his sons Guido and Eddy, builds a successful stable. Their mares quickly gain recognition in the competitions, and the first national title comes in 1984, awarded to Heddie van Hofstade (s. Baron van 't Brouwerijhof). Two years later, Bloc van Oombergen (s. Souvenir van Boekel) follows, co-owned with Van Melckebeke. That same year, Bloc is also crowned champion among stallions with offspring. In 1989, another Souvenir son, Albion de Pontailles, secures the championship title.

A new highlight follows in 1994 with Star van 't Bloemenhof, who, as the son of Bloc van Oombergen, once again highlights his father's breeding qualities. It takes six years until 2000, when Jim van Niesenhof is named champion after a fierce battle against Hepper Sam.
