 The first round of competition proved challenging with only 9 clear rounds recorded. Following the first round the Netherlands are currently sitting in first position, with Sweden in second and Belgium in third.  A series of unfortunate rails stopped our Australian team from progressing to the Nations Cup Final, and instead they will be setting their sights on tomorrow’s consolation round.  “Today was not our day” announced Edwina on her Facebook page following her 20 penalties accumulated in the first round. Jamie Kermond (Quite Cassini) and Amy Graham (Bella Baloubet) had one rail each in the first round and Julia Hargreaves (Vedor) accumulated 16 penalties. James Paterson – Robinson  (Vincente) was named the team reserve and will be competing as an individual.

Last year’s Nations Cup final saw the French team claim the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup Jumping trophy, with the Brazilian team in 2nd place and Ireland reining in 3^rd place.  

Our Australian team members will join the US, Spain, France, Qatar and Venezuela in tomorrow’s competition.
