Top three finishers in the 2016 FEI Nations Cup.
On Friday, March 3, 2017, the annual FEI Nations Cup will take center stage at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. Eight nations are tacking up to compete in the prestigious, CSIO4* competition, including the defending champions of Team Ireland. In the last six years, the United States has taken victory in this Nations Cup battle, but with a fresh-faced, all-female squad put forth by Chef d’Equipe Robert Ridland, it remains to be seen if the USA will be able to top what is sure to be a fierce team competition on home soil.
