The Nations Cup competition, as part of the Sunshine Tour in Vejer de la Frontera, Spain, was originally scheduled for Friday afternoon, but had to be postponed to Saturday due to persistent showers.

Although Ireland and Egypt initially took the lead with scores of zero, the Germans came back swinging in the second round against seven other strong teams. Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann riding Chesmu KJ, Marc Bettinger riding Undercover Z, and David Will with C Vier 2 all posted clears, while Maximilian Lill with D-Cassina had the drop score (16). Their total of 4 would hold up as some teams had disappointing second rounds.

The team were delighted with their win and their chef dโ€™equipe, Dietmar Gugler, was thrilled with the result as Germany is clearly on great form as they also won the last round of the Nations Cup that was held this autumn in Vilamoura, Portugal.
