The second competition in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping Final, the Longines Challenge Cup for teams placed ninth to 18th after Thursday’s opening round at the Real Club de Polo in Barcelona (ESP), was cancelled tonight due to adverse weather conditions.

A major thunderstorm and torrential rain made conditions impossible and, with the safety of horses and riders as the top priority, the decision was made to call off the competition.

The President of the Ground Jury, Technical Delegate and President of the Veterinary Commission, in consultation with the Organiser, agreed unanimously on the cancellation. In accordance with the preamble* of the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping Rules, the FEI Jumping Committee was also consulted on the decision and was in full agreement.
