From 22 to 25 June, the prestigious CHIO Rotterdam took place, where top riders from all over the world came together. Jorinde took part in the event with her talented horse Charmer (by Charmeur), representing Team Belgium in the exciting Nations Cup.

On Thursday, Jorinde and Charmer had too many costly mistakes in the test, which eventually resulted in a score of 66.8%. On Saturday the combination was in much better shape and Jorinde and Charmer achieved success in the freestyle, where they achieved the highest score within Team Belgium. With an impressive score of 75.195% they achieved a well-deserved eighth place. This excellent performance made a significant contribution to the Nations Cup overall standings.

Team Belgium, consisting of Flore de Winne with Flynn, Lore Vandeborne with Ikke-Pia v/d Bergerhoeve, and Amandine Prevost with Quarterdance, showed exceptional teamwork and determination throughout the competition. With their combined efforts, they achieved an impressive fifth place in the final standings of the Nations Cup.
