We’ve been eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the entries for the FEI Nations Cup at Bromont, which take place in less than three weeks, from August 18-20. The only leg taking place outside of Europe, it won’t be the most hotly contested Nations Cup we’ve ever seen, since there will likely be just three teams and it also takes place a the week before Great Meadow International which will be Team USA’s final mandatory outing before the World Championships this fall. However, Bromont puts on a spectacular event and always attracts top competition no matter the time.
For the U.S., current CCI4O-S entries include the likes of Ariel Grald, Liz Halliday-Sharp, Lillian Heard, and Colleen Rutledge amongst others. Check them out! Entries don’t close until 8/12, so we’ll likely some more trickle in and of course we’re anxiously awaiting the naming of teams!
