Another Successful Edition of CDI Lier 2026
Last weekend, Azelhof Horse Events in Lier once again formed the stage for CDI Lier 2026. With a strong international field of competitors, it was high-level dressage from Tuesday through Sunday. This edition once again confirmed that CDI Lier has grown into a fixed value on the international dressage calendar.
The organizers of Belgium Dressage Events welcomed well-filled grandstands throughout the week. The programme featured classes at CDI4*, CDI3* and CDI1* level, complemented by competitions for young talents and youth riders: Children, Ponies, Juniors, Young Riders and U25.
