Andrew Hoy Rutherglen

Kevin McNab Clifton Pinot

Emma Dougall Kelecyn Ice Age

With Olympians Hoy and Fredericks competing on their Olympic mounts, this year's Australian team will be a fierce chance to improve upon the second place which last year's team achieved at this event.

The FEI Eventing Nations Cup is a seven round series which offers the world’s top eventing nations a rare chance to compete in a team’s style event.   The series has returned in 2013 following a hugely successful inaugural season.

Germany is currently leading the 2013 series and will have a strong team this weekend led by double Olympic gold medallist Ingrid Klimke and Tabasco TSF. Ingrid is joined by Bettina Hoy and Lanfranco TSF, CCI** winners at Houghton in 2010, Benjamin Winter on Wild Thing Z and Julia Krajewski riding Lost Prophesy.

Action begins later today and runs through until Sunday.
