Gallop the Globe – Episode 4: Rotterdam

In this episode of Gallop the Globe, led by host Carly Rein, we dive into Rotterdam — a city that blends modern architecture, vibrant culture, and equestrian excellence. Known as the “Gateway to Europe,” Rotterdam is a bold, forward-thinking city where striking skylines meet rich maritime history. From the Erasmus Bridge and Cube Houses to bustling food markets and lively nightlife, the city pulses with youthful energy and global influence. Just minutes from the urban center lies the Kralingse Bos, a forested park and lake that transforms each summer into the home of CHIO Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ only outdoor 5* FEI event and one of the most prestigious horse shows in the world.

Led by Carly Rein, the journey takes viewers through four thrilling days of CHIO Rotterdam, where world-class dressage and five-star show jumping unfold in an atmosphere unlike any other. It’s more than a horse show—it’s a festival of sport, food, music, and culture, where Dutch traditions meet international competition. From the elegance and artistry of freestyle dressage to the high-stakes drama of the Longines League of Nations and Grand Prix jump-offs, the energy here is electric. Between classes, Carly explores local favorites—from street food like stroopwafels and herring to sunset cocktails overlooking the skyline. She also ventures to The Hague, discovering royal history and seaside charm just a short ride away. Rotterdam is a city of resilience, creativity, and celebration, and Carly brings it all to life at every stride.
