After their Nations Cup victory both Rob Ehrens and Jur Vrieling were positive about the win...

Rob Ehrens, Chef d’Equipe, NED (when asked why he chose Jur Vrieling for the jump-off today): ”He’s the most experienced rider in the team and his horse was already warmed up and ready to go as they were the last pair out in round two. I know Vrieling is a very fast rider.”

Jur Vrieling NED, talking about his horse VDL Glasgow - “He has an unbelievably top character, he’s the nicest horse in the stable not just because of the results he gets but the way he behaves. I adore him!”
