There’s something about Aachen ✨

Some places just have a certain kind of magic and Aachen is one of them. The moment you step into that arena, you feel it: the energy from the crowd, the weight of its history, the buzz in the air that makes your heart race a little faster.

This past weekend at CHIO Aachen was one we’ll never forget.

Emilie & Bella rose to the occasion in every way. From their beautiful round in the Nations Cup, where they helped secure a 🥈second-place finish for Team Belgium, to going clear in the Rolex Grand Prix. One of the most prestigious events in the sport. The kind of moments you dream of as a rider, and even more special when they come true on such iconic ground.

And while Emilie and Bella were in the spotlight, Daniel held down the fort with quiet resilience. Through unpredictable weather and intense classes, he stayed calm and focused, delivering solid performances in a field packed with talent. His determination and steady presence were a grounding force through it all.

It wasn’t just about results. It was about the emotion, the teamwork, and the shared sense of awe that comes from riding at a place like Aachen. From the first step onto the grass to the final round of the weekend, it was a journey we’re deeply proud of.

We’re heading home with full hearts, grateful for every moment, and already counting down the days until we’re back.

Aachen, thank you. For the magic, the memories, and the moments that remind us why we do this. 💫
