From February 28th to March 4th the second edition of the four-star event CDI Lier will take place. Besides big Belgian names like Olympic rider Jorinde Verwimp, Laurence Roos and Isabel Cool, many well-known riders from all over the world will come into action. Show director Wim Verwimp: “It was about time that the international dressage top came to the Azelhof in Lier, and that another Belgian event of size was organized. I am sure we have succeeded with CDI Lier!” Just like last year, media partner Equnews is responsible for live reporting.

International interest
A lot of international interest was shown in CDI Lier. In addition to Jorinde Verwimp, four other Olympic amazons will perform; the Australian Mary Hanna, the British Emma Hindle, the Ukrainian Inna Logutenkova and the Japanese Akane Kuroki. In addition, the Australian rider Tristan Tucker, the German rider Benjamin Werndl, the Irish Dane Rawlins and the Dutch riders Stephanie de Frel and Danielle Heijkoop will also compete during CDI Lier.

Free entrance
The organization, consisting of Wim Verwimp, Joyce Lebon and Annemiek van der Vorm, has the mission to take the 2018 edition to an even higher level. In addition to a nice field of participants, CDI Lier has more to offer its visitors. The event is free of charge and there are several stands where visitors can purchase equestrian items.
