The second leg of the 2020 FEI Eventing Nations Cup series kicks off today at Strzegom in Poland. Teams from Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland are set to compete, along with individuals representing the Czech Republic, Sweden and New Zealand. Big names on the start list include Andreas Dibowski with FRH Corrida; Dirk Schrade with Ingrid Klimke, with SAP Hale Bob OLD and SAP Sasha P; and Tim Price with Falco. The CCI4*-L will be another exciting one to watch, with Tim Price riding another three horses including Wesko and Jonelle Price riding McClaren.
Following the cancellation of the first three FEI Eventing Nations Cup legs (Ballindenisk in Ireland, Houghton Hall in Great Britain, and Pratoni del Vivaro in Italy), the series got off to a late start at Le Pin du Haras in France two weeks ago. To recap, Team France won that leg, followed by The Netherlands and Great Britain (read EN’s recap here). Two legs remain after Strzegom: a rescheduled Ballindenisk (Sept. 24-27) and Montelibretti in Italy (Oct. 22-25). You can learn more about the Nations Cup series has adapted to a disrupted competition calendar year, along with complete rankings, at the website here.
