In 1974 Stibbe briefly competed for Ireland, due to a disagreement with the Dutch Equestrian Federation (NRSV), and since 1999 he decided to represent Netherlands Antilles because he was not selected for world championships by the NRSV. In 1989 he married Mandy Jeakins, a British rider he met in 1987, and since then resides in England. In 1994 he broke his leg in five places at a competition.[2][3]

Stibbe's father Daddy Stibbe was a show-jumper and president of the NRSV.[3]
