A passionate horseman and dedicated athlete, Bruno will always hold a place in Belgium’s Olympic equestrian history.

In loving memory of Victor Lacus (1943–2026)

It is with great sadness that the Royal Belgian Equestrian Federation has learned of the passing of Victor Lacus, who passed away on Tuesday, 20 October, at the age of 83.

A true horseman with a lifelong passion for equestrian sport, Victor was a respected and much-loved figure in the Belgian equestrian community. For decades, he shared his knowledge, experience and dedication to horses through the renowned Drags riding club in Hoeilaart.

His passion for horses was also a family affair, passed on to his sons Karl and Filip, who both went on to compete at the highest levels of showjumping. Together, they helped establish the Lacus name as one of the well-known families in Belgian equestrian sport.

Victor leaves behind a lasting legacy, not only through his contribution to the sport, but also through the generations of horse lovers he inspired along the way.

On behalf of the Royal Belgian Equestrian Federation, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Karl, Filip, the entire Lacus family, and all those who knew and loved him.

Rest in peace, Victor. 🕊️
