After a huge day in the jumping arena at WEG on Wednesday, the Australian team held onto their 7th placing in the Team event. A great achievement by the Aussies! The winners were the mighty Germans, ahead of France in second place and Belgium in third - Europe reigned supreme in the jumping battle of the nations.
