“We like mud!” said the Irish eventers as they won the final leg of the series well ahead of the United States and Germany.

The Belgian squad’s accuracy in both jumping phases gave them their first Nations Cup victory of the season on French soil.

The Germans bounced back from their Olympic disappointment to win this fixture in Belgium over France and Great Britain.

The team clawed its way back up from fifth place after dressage to take the victory – a first on home turf.

The Italian countryside was the setting for a strong French squad to oust Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Australia.

Team France look to be a team to beat at the 2024 Olympics on home soil after clinching their 4th FEI Eventing Nations Cup win this season.

Italy’s persistence in the FEI Eventing Nations Cup Series paid off as they picked up the golden ticket for the Paris Olympics next year.

The sixth leg of this important Olympic-qualifying series took place at Avenches, Switzerland; next stop is Bromont, QC.

Just four more competitions remain in this eventing series, concluding at Boekelo where the final Paris Olympics team place will be awarded.

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