About Niels Bruynseels
Niels Bruynseels, born on 5 December 1983, is a Belgian showjumping rider recognised for his role in the Belgian national team at the European Championships, World Cup, Nations Cup Finals, and the Olympics. Hailing from an equestrian family, his father Harry Bruynseels, a notable horse trader, influenced his adaptability with various horses. He operates Stal Bruynseels, a stable in Bonheiden, Belgium, where he trains, trades horses, and coaches. His competitive highlights include the 2018 FEI Nations Cup Final win in Barcelona with the Belgian team and victory at the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup of Poland in Sopot. In 2019, Bruynseels triumphed at the Global Champions Tour in Cannes and secured the Rolex Grand Prix at the Dutch Masters in 2018. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he placed 26th individually but had to exit the team event when his horse Delux Van T&L sustained a hoof injury. Throughout his career, he has partnered with horses like Delux van T&L, Chacco's Lando OL, and Lady Cracotte, maintaining his status as a top showjumper.
