Sporting relatives:

His partner Edward Gal represented the Netherlands in dressage at the Olympic Games in 2012 and 2016. (Instagram profile, 01 Jan 2020; SportsDeskOnline, 25 Mar 2019; thehorserisersjournal.com, 06 Sep 2016)

He is from a non-equestrian family. He began riding at age six, once a week at an equestrian school in Westkapelle, Netherlands. (ghpc.at, 12 Apr 2016; hanspeterminderhoud.nl, 01 Aug 2013)

He fell in love with the sport after visiting a riding school. "When I finished high school I phoned [Dutch dressage rider] Anky van Grunsven asking if I could groom for her. That was my beginning. I can honestly say I am self-made." (albionsaddlemakers.co.uk, 18 Sep 2014; KNHS, 18 Jul 2008)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (omroepzeeland.nl, 07 Mar 2021)

FAREWELL TO CHAMPION STALLION
His stallion Glock's Romanov was put down in February 2020 owing to health issues arising from pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction. The pair won team silver together at the 2013 European Championships in Herning, Denmark. "It's desperately sad and yet, at the same time, you know it's right. Romanov was a really special stallion. Simply fantastic to ride and it was such a wonderful feeling to have the privilege of sitting in his saddle. We had lots of successful competitions and I will miss him so much."
