Daniel Bachmann Andersen and Blue Hors Don Olymbrio won the 2019 CDI-W 's Hertogenbosch. In 2020 the show was cancelled and in 2021 there will be no dressage

The program of the 2021 edition of Indoor Brabant in 's Hertogenbosch continues to be changed. The organizers just decided to drop the entire dressage program, so there will be no CDI 4* ridden.

The World Cup qualifier of 's Hertogenbosch has been plagued by the virus outbreaks the past two years. In 2020 the event was cancelled last minute at the beginning of the corona pandemic and in 2021 they were forced to cancel their show because of the EHV-1 outbreak.

Den Bosch then found a solution by rebooking the show on new dates - 21 - 25 April - agreed to host a CDI 4* counting as a Dutch Olympic observation trial.

However, today it has been decided to drop the CDI leg of the show entirely. 

"The top dressage riders are preparing themselves for the outdoor show season with the Olympic Games in Tokyo in mind. It turned out this was not corresponding with the indoor show in 's Hertogenbosch," said the organising committee in a press release. "This is why we decided to skip the dressage program this year. The program will be extended with extra show jumping classes."
