Vorsselmans was born on 28 June 1983 and brought up in Belgium. She started to ride at a very young age, and as a child grew up surrounded by horses. During her childhood Vorsselmans rode in Dressage discipline. Later she qualified for the national finals held in Mechelen, Belgium three times. After that Vorsselmans’ father gave her his Jumping horse adn then her focus started to move away from Dressage. When Vorsselmans was 18 years old she had to make a tough, very important decision. She had to decide wheather to continue her studies, or otherwise to pursue a life dedicated to riding horses professionally. Of course she chose the second option and Vorsselmans ended up at the Eurohorse stables of renowned Dutch rider and horse dealer, Axel Verlooy. Vorsselmans says she really learned to ride because of her time spent there. Verlooy currently employs Harrie Smolders and his son, Jos Verlooy, and, between the three of them, they operate a very successful equestrian outfit in Grobbendonk, Belgium. Vorsselmans currently trains at Stal Eurocommerce, where she has been employed since December 2010. Vorsselmans trains together with the big name in the equestrian sport Gerco Schrӧder at the stables, and she is confident that this is where her Jumping career will continue to expand.
