ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, June 19, 2025–The Netherlands captured the CDIO5* Nations Cup on home soil Thursday to tie Germany at the top of the standings after four of the six events in the trans-Atlantic series. Great Britain took silver and Belgium bronze.

Four-time Olympian Hans Peter Minderhoud on the 10-year-old Hanoverian stallion Glock’s Taminiau with a score of 72.739% led the Dutch team to victory. All four of the team combinations scored above 70%.

Charlotte “Lottie”  Fry on Glamourdale, the 14-year-old KWPN stallion that won their first World Cup Final two months ago, was the top placed individual combination with 75.109%, but not enough for Britain to withstand the Netherlands’ side.

The three teams met the minimum requirement for the scores of the top three riders in each squad counting toward the series standings with Germany and Holland tied at the top with 35 points.

The final team results:

1. Netherlands–Thamar Zweistra/Hexagons Luxuriouzz 70.891%,  Hans Peter Minderhoud/Glock’s Taminiau 72.739%, Marlies van Baalen/Habibi DVB 71.957% (Marieke van der Putten/Kuvasz RS2 70.652%0)–Total 215.587%

The next Nations Cup is the CDIO5* at the World Equestrian Festival in Aachen, Germany in two weeks where the local team will be looking to move closer to their third straight title in the series that this year as is often the case began at Florida’s Global Dressage Festival in winter.
