Dinja van Liere was born on August 16, 1990, in Goes, Netherlands. Her equestrian journey began at a young age, leading her to become a stable rider at Stal Hexagon. A significant early career milestone came in 2012 when she secured a bronze medal at the World Championships for Young Horses in Verden, Germany. This achievement followed her success as the National Indoor Champion at the M2 level in the same year. She subsequently competed successfully in the Grand Prix Under 25 category, steadily building her expertise and reputation within the dressage community.
Her breakthrough at the international Grand Prix level occurred in 2021, when she competed with two horses, Haute Couture and Hermes. That year, she was initially selected for the Dutch team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, though a technical error in the owner’s registration prevented her from competing with one horse. She then served as the traveling reserve with Haute Couture. Shortly after, she was selected to represent the Netherlands at the European Championships in Hagen, further solidifying her presence on the international stage. In 2022, van Liere achieved a bronze medal at the FEI World Championships with her horse Hermes, marking a significant accomplishment in her career.
Her career progression continued with notable performances, including being selected for the Dutch team at the Paris 2024 Games. At these games, she placed fourth in both the team and individual competitions with Hermes, achieving a personal best score of 88.432% in the Grand Prix Freestyle. This result placed her just half a percentage point away from a bronze medal, demonstrating her consistent performance among the world’s elite dressage riders. In 2020, van Liere joined Reesink Horses as head rider, a role she described as an important step in her career, offering an ideal environment for her ongoing development.
