The Dutch team bested the US squad despite losing a team member, and now move up to into second place in the series.

The experienced squad led from start to finish at the Millstreet event in Ireland; Australia and China secure Olympic eventing qualification.

Four strong performances over the Ian Stark-designed cross-country course gave the French team the edge over Great Britain.

The opening leg of the series saw a influential cross-country with lots of eliminations and no entries finishing within the time allowed.

The August dates at Bromont have been given to Belgium, leaving no North American opportunities to gain Paris qualification points.

In this final leg of the series, an all-female British team led the way, ahead of New Zealand, France and Germany.

This victory marked the second time in a row Belgium has claimed the prestigious Nations Cup prize in Arville, edging Germany and Italy.
