Horses.nl reported that Alex van Silfhout has selected his team for the FEI Nations' Cup at the CDIO Rotterdam on 23 - 26 June 2022.

Rotterdam is the penultimate Dutch team selection trial for the 2022 World Championships Dressage in Herning in August and the team that is fielded in Rotterdam could most likely be the one that will be sent to Herning. 

Hans Peter Minderhoud is making his come back with the 14-year old KWPN stallion Dream Boy (by Vivaldi x Ferro) who was sidelined this spring for the first two team trials (Dutch Championships and Exloo) due to an injury. By the end of June the stallion is expected to be fit to compete. 

The Dutch team for Rotterdam includes

  • Hans Peter Minderhoud - Dream Boy
  • Dinja van Liere - Hermes
  • Emmelie Scholtens - Indian Rock
  • Thamar Zweistra - Hexagon's Ich Weiss

The final selection trial will be in Aachen but the Dutch team for that event has not yet been named.
