Not because you have to be there, but because you experience something that stays with you. For Paul Riemens, Chairman of the Board of Jumping Amsterdam since 2016, the end of January at the RAI has become such a fixed moment in the year. A few days where everything comes together: sport, people, horses, and emotion.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cJumping Amsterdam is so much more than a sporting event for me,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a place where people meet, where stories are created, and where horse lovers connect. You feel it the moment you walk in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Decade of Moving Along<\/strong><br \/>\nTen years as chairman means experiencing ten editions under very different circumstances, including the Covid years when nothing was certain. \u201cThat broadens your perspective,\u201d Paul says. \u201cYou see how vulnerable an event can be, but also how incredibly resilient. And above all, how deep the love for this sport runs among everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Paul, it\u2019s important not to lead from a distance. \u201cIf you\u2019re on the board, you need to keep feeling what it means to organize an event\u2014what\u2019s happening operationally, where the challenges are, and where things are going really well. That involvement also helps me in my role as CEO of the RAI. Jumping Amsterdam keeps me close to the core of what we do here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Fixed Point in the Year<\/strong><br \/>\nJumping Amsterdam feels like an anchor point for him. \u201cIt\u2019s the start of the year, the days are still dark. Then you step into that hall and you\u2019re surrounded by an energy you hardly find anywhere else. That contrast is beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Paul and his partner, it has become natural to stay overnight and enjoy four full days of the event. \u201cYou\u2019re completely immersed. That weekend, the world almost only consists of Jumping Amsterdam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connection in the Middle of the Arena<\/strong><br \/>\nThe highlight for Paul isn\u2019t just the sport. \u201cDuring the 60th anniversary, I was allowed to step into the arena to thank volunteers and riders. Standing there, with that amazing audience around me, I realized how special it is what we create together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pauses. \u201cThere, in the middle of that arena, I felt very strongly what this is all about: people, passion for horses, and the connection that follows. Everyone stood there with the same love for the event. That moment is unforgettable for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amsterdam as a Natural Backdrop<\/strong><br \/>\nJumping Amsterdam and the city are inseparable for Paul. \u201cThis event fits perfectly with Amsterdam. You feel the genuine involvement of our incredibly diverse audience. That creates connection\u2014with each other and with the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That idea aligns seamlessly with the development of the RAI area. \u201cWe\u2019re working on a large-scale transformation. The area is becoming softer, more focused on stay and meeting. Jumping Amsterdam fits perfectly into that. It brings people together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personally Close<\/strong><br \/>\nThat Jumping Amsterdam comes so close is also shown by a personal story. \u201cI met the love of my life here\u2014my fianc\u00e9e, Dido van Kuijk,\u201d Paul says. \u201cDido is truly a horse girl. That makes it extra special.\u201d Since then, they\u2019ve spent four days together at Jumping Amsterdam. \u201cIt has become our fixed moment in the year. It almost feels like our own tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That horses connect people is anything but an abstract concept for Paul. \u201cOne of our first dates was horseback riding. After Jumping Amsterdam, we went to Terschelling for a beach ride on two Friesians. That moment turned out to be a bullseye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, Paul decided to propose. He even considered doing it in the Jumping Amsterdam arena, but that felt too grand. \u201cThat wouldn\u2019t suit me. I wouldn\u2019t be happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposal did happen, and the happy couple will marry in Italy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><br \/>\nTen years of chairmanship mainly gives Paul energy. \u201cThe beauty is that Jumping Amsterdam keeps moving. The sport evolves, the audience changes, the city changes. But the core remains the same: horses connect, people come together, love for sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He smiles. \u201cAs long as that remains, this event will stay special. And as long as I can contribute to that, I\u2019ll do so with great pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
