In the heart of the Eastern Cape’s equestrian scene, Tiffany de Bruyn stands out as a passionate showjumper, trainer, and advocate for equine wellness. Based in East London, Tiffany operates a thriving livery yard specializing in backing and schooling horses, where her commitment to holistic horse care is evident in every aspect of her work.
Embracing Vermate & Thermal Mud
Tiffany’s journey with Vermate and Thermal Mud began several years ago when she observed remarkable improvements in her horses’ health and recovery. Impressed by the products’ impact on both young and mature horses, she became an agent to promote their benefits within her community. Her enthusiasm and belief in these products led to her role as a brand ambassador, a position she has held with pride for the past year.
At her livery yard, all horses are integrated into the Vermate regimen, benefiting from its gut support, anti-inflammatory properties, and natural electrolytes. Thermal Mud is a staple in her post-workout care, aiding in muscle recovery and injury management. Tiffany’s holistic approach ensures that each horse receives comprehensive care, aligning with her philosophy of promoting overall equine well-being.
A Trusted Advocate for Equine Wellness
As a dedicated Vermate & Thermal Mud ambassador, Tiffany exemplifies the synergy between competitive excellence and compassionate horse care. Her hands-on experience and unwavering commitment make her a valuable resource for fellow equestrians looking for information and guidance on how to improve their horses’ health and performance.

The Eastern Cape carries a quiet but determined spirit in South African showjumping — a history shaped by dedicated riders, committed trainers, and a strong belief in the future of the sport.
Here, the heart of showjumping beats most strongly in the young riders — nurtured by passionate coaches, community-driven competitions, and an unwavering love for the sport. It’s a scene not defined by volume or spectacle, but by the kind of steady, careful growth that, over time, reshapes landscapes.
Though the province is still building its international presence, the Eastern Cape’s growing foundations in rider development and competitive experience offer significant potential for future success. With continued focus and investment, the province is well poised to expand its reach beyond national competition and create opportunities for its riders on the global stage.
It’s horsewomen like Tiffany — competitive, compassionate, and fiercely committed — who embody this spirit. Through them, the Eastern Cape’s story continues to unfold: steady, resilient, and quietly reaching for greater heights.
