From July 26 to August 11, the Olympic Games will take place in Paris. Equestrian sports are represented with the disciplines of dressage, jumping, and eventing. As in previous editions, a large number of participating horses, both under Dutch and foreign riders, are KWPN-registered.
Glamourdale Wins Bronze; Hermès Just Misses the Podium
Prior to the championship, it was expected that several combinations would be contenders for medals. The gold once again went to Dalera and Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, the silver to Isabell Werth and Wendy de Fontaine. The KWPN stallion Glamourdale secured a beautiful bronze medal, followed by the KWPN stallion Hermès, who was just half a percent short of a podium finish.

Team Silver for Ilex; I.Amelusina R 51 Takes Team Bronze
The Dutch team faced a tense moment as they narrowly missed out on the team bronze medal. Despite a flawless round from Kim Emmen and Imagine, the Dutch team missed the bronze by approximately half a second. Representing the United States, Ilex delivered a beautiful clear round, securing the son of Baltic VDL a bronze medal. Meanwhile, competing under the French flag, I.Amelusina R 51 contributed to winning team bronze. The British team took home the gold.
