At the CICO in Aachen he finished in 13th position and with the Dutch team he finished in 5th position.

Later he became third in Outdoor Gelderland with Van Schijndels Owaola and in July he finished second in the CHIO Aachen, the World's largest equestrian meeting. This earned enough points to be among the top 30 at the World Rankings, which gave him the international nomination for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Because he also achieved the Dutch standards (finishing among the top 12 in this tournament) the qualification was a fact.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he finished in 38th place in the individual and was part of the Dutch team that finished in 11th place.
