Belgian riders win podium places at MET Oliva
Published
The Belgian show jumpers left a strong impression this week during the Autumn MET 2026 Tour II in Oliva. Belgian riders stood on the podium, especially in the classes for young show jumping horses. For Belgian equestrian sport, this is positive news.
The classes for young show jumping horses are important for the development of the sport. In these competitions, young horses jump their first major courses and show what they are capable of. A podium place means that the rider and the horse have performed well against a strong international field. That is why trainers and breeders often follow these results with great interest.
The MET tour is a series of show jumping competitions that takes place every year in the autumn. Participants come from various European countries. For Belgian riders, such a tour is a good way to gain experience and measure themselves against the best young talents of the moment. The organisation and the level of competition also make these events an important moment in the sporting season.
The results of the Belgian riders in Oliva show that the young generation in Belgium is doing well. It remains to be seen how the horses will develop further and which competitions the riders will take part in over the coming months.
