The CSI5* Indoor Brabant in Den Bosch is one of the most beautiful indoor events in the world, and we have collected some of the highlights from one of our favorite shows. First out is home hero Marc Houtzager and Sterrehof's Calimero who jumped their way to a third place in the Rolex Grand Prix as well as winning Fridays' feature competition the VDL Groep Prize.

Indoor Brabant is a public-friendly event: Here the collecting ring in the middle of the area designated for shopping and dining.
Also the walk from the collecting ring to the main ring goes through the area of restaurants and bars.
