​

    Päivi Laine played a huge role in the equine world, not just in Her native country Finland but internationally as well. Before she started in Ypäjä Equine College she was working in Finlands Horse Breeding Station and also Finnish Breeding assosiation. She was the Headmaster, Development coordinator and Head of Adult Education at Ypäjä Equine College and was passionate about equine education in both Riding and Trotting.

​

   She was very influential  in Finnhorse breeding and history, and the well respected multi-skilled expert concerning the horse sector, M.S. Agriculture.  

​

   Her passion for educating future equestrian coaches was evident and She was a member and secretary of the EEN. She also worked closely with the European State Stud Association and the IGEQ.

​

   Two years ago  She was starting as  a secretary of  the IGEQ . We are thankful for Her tireless work and positive attitude as a member of the ENN for over 25 years and in the role of the Secretary.

​

   We remember Her love for horses and Her as a warm-hearted, kind and generous person.

​

   All of us miss Päivi and we want to thank her for everything what She did for the EEN family.
