The Story
Top Ranked Belgian Show Jumper Pieter Devos is a man like no other. From humble beginnings in Belgium, Pieter has beaten the odds, following his dream of becoming one of the world’s greatest athletes, always with the understanding that hard work and dedication are core elements to make dreams come true. Now one of the most respected horseman in the world, Pieter manages his own career as a top level athlete, as well as being one of the biggest exporters of apples and pears in Belgium - a farm which he grew from a small family business into one of the top distributers in Europe. Always going above and beyond, Pieter’s work ethic is second to none as he continues to look for adventure - all the while never losing sight of the most important element in his life; his young family.
Pieter married Caroline Poels in 2015 - a world class show jumper in her own right - and the couple have a daughter, Lisa, born in 2017, and a son, Vic, who was born in 2019. With his brother Wouter also competiting and helping to produce upcoming talent at their stables in Bekkevoort, and with his mother and father still living on site and helping to support both businesses, the Devos team are a close-knit family with a drive to succeed.
