Jeroen Dubbeldam was awarded as 'Reem Acra FEI Best Athlete 2014' at Sunday's FEI Awards. The reigning double World Champion was honored during the FEI General Assembly in Baku. The Reem Acra Best Athlete award goes to an athlete who has demonstrated exceptional equestrian skills, and over the last twelve months have taken the sport to a new level. "I'm very proud of it! Looking back at 2014 I am full of pride for my horse, Zenith SFN, and the way he competed, as this was the first year at this top level, filling in the gap of my former horse, Utascha SFN that was sold," Jeroen said.

With an impressive track record including individual gold at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games during a career spanning 25 years, Jeroen Dubbeldam has had an exceptional 2014, scoring individual and team gold at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian™ Games 2014 and helping the Netherlands clinch the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Final just weeks later.
