Showjumping runs in the Belgian twins’ blood. Their father, Ludo, is a four-time Olympian and their mother, Veronique, competed in high-level dressage competitions. In 2012, Olivier became the youngest rider ever to win the CN International Grand Prix at the CSIO Spruce Meadows “Masters” Tournament in Alberta, Canada, and in 2017 he won the Hong Kong Tatler Trophy at the Longines Hong Kong Masters.
Despite his recent international successes, Nicola defeated him at the Belgian Championships last year to claim the trophy. Although they normally compete against each other, the twins pair up to model for H&M’s equestrian portal, H&M We Love Horses.
The 2018 Longines Hong Kong Masters will take place from February 9–11 at AsiaWorld-Expo. Find out more at longinesmasters.com and purchase your tickets here
