Belgium, the reigning European champions in equestrian sports, is gearing up for the highly competitive Barcelona Nations Cup in October 2023. Fresh from their 2023 European Championship victory in Milan, the Belgian team—featuring top riders like Niels Bruynseels and Jos Verlooy—is intensively preparing with advanced training techniques, mental conditioning, and a focus on horse health to maintain their edge. The Nations Cup, held at the prestigious Real Club de Polo de Barcelona, is a critical event that influences overall rankings and pits Belgium against strong contenders such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Historically, Belgium has been a consistent top performer in the Nations Cup series, supported by a robust training program, quality horses, and a deep talent pool. The team’s holistic preparation, including sports psychology and community backing, aims to sustain their momentum and solidify their status as a leading equestrian nation. With fierce competition ahead, Belgium’s performance in Barcelona will be pivotal in defining their global standing in the sport.
