Belgium is not eligable for points at the Rotterdam Nations Cup. This reflects in Demeersman's choice of riders. The Belgium teamchef has opted for a combination of top level Nations Cup riders and Divsion 2 riders. For Belgium it are :
Judy-Ann Melchior : As Cold As Ice Z – Casuality Z
Olivier Philippaerts : H&M Challenge vd Begijnakker – H&M Henna de Goedereede – H&M Legend of Love
Catherine Van Roosbroeck : Gerre vd Litzemaere – Gautcho da Quinta – Cerise des Brumes
Gregory Wathelet : Eldorado van het Vijverhof – Algorythem – Quasi Modo Z
5 th rider : Wilm Vermeir : Gentiane de la Pomme – Hacienda d’Eversem – IQ van het Steentje
In Rome the Dutch show jumpers jumped to a fifth place, this has put the pressure on Rob Ehrens' selection. Ehrens has choosen for a strong team, riding for the points at home soil.
