The Dutch Equestrian federation and team trainer Rien van der Schaft have selected the senior and Under 15 Grand Prix team that will represent The Netherlands at the 2017 CDIO Aachen in Germany.
For the second year in a row, the Dutch Equestrian Federation decided to organize the Dutch Championships on very unfortunate dates; least year co-inciding with Aachen and this year just three days before Aachen. As the Dutch Nationals are a mandatory team selection trial for the 2017 European Championships, Holland will not be fielding its top scoring riders in Aachen.
For the senior team Van der Schaft assembled a mixed group of A and B-team riders:
- Patrick van der Meer - Zippo
- Jeannette Haazen - Dabanos d'O4
- Thamar Zweistra - Double Dutch
- Margo Timmermans - Catch Me
The Under 25 team will include
- Anne Meulendijks - Avanti
- Denise Nekeman - Boston
- Maxime van der Vlist - Bailey
