REX VAN DEN DRIES

Year of Birth: 2017
Pedigree: Kannan x Diamant de Semilly
Performance: 1.45 m

The Belgian gelding Rex van den Dries impressed us above all with his exceptional power off the ground and great carefulness. His quality pedigree is underlined by his sire Kannan and his dam Karmelita van den Dries, who herself competed at 155 cm.

He completed his first season in Liponova Equestrian colours in 2025 and immediately made a strong impression. At the age of eight, he progressed to 145 cm classes, won the Litomyšl Grand Prix and finished both Czech Show Jumping Cup Grand Prix classes he contested without penalties. He also performed very well at the Prague PlayOffs in the O2 arena, where he competed with his new rider Václav Staněk.

In 2026, Rex enjoyed success particularly on the international competition circuit, where he continued to demonstrate his potential and ability.

In the coming season, Rex van den Dries will be ready to tackle the most demanding classes on the Czech circuit under an experienced rider. His competition programme should also include international classes at 145–150 cm.
