While we don’t have any American combinations competing in the George Mernagh Memorial CICO3*, we’ll still be watching the third leg of the 2017 FEI Nations Cup Series closely. Teams from Ireland, Great Britain and France will face off in the Nations Cup, which starts with dressage on Friday. Click here for ride times.

As sometimes happens at events abroad, wifi and technological luck in general have been hard to come by today, so the chinchillas ask your sincerest apologies for the lack of a full trot up photo gallery of our American combinations. Check Instagram for more photos from today!
