Australia has fielded teams at two of this season’s Nations Cup events, placing third at Houghton Hall and fourth in Aachen. 

National Performance Director for Eventing, Prue Barrett says this weekend’s tough competition will come from usual suspects Great Britain and Germany

“Only one point separates Great Britain and Germany at the top of the leaderboard so you can expect both nations to field strong teams.

“Our team will be looking to replicate their top three finish at Houghton Hall and end this year’s Nation’s Cup season on a strong note,” she said.

The trot-up will be held later today with competition to commence on Thursday.
