Next stop Falsterbo!

Historical, Falsterbo is the theater of equestrian events since almost a century. Now part of the Nations Cup circuit, this is an unmissable competition for top riders around the world. The event is even more important this year as the European Championship are around the corner and will be decisive for the Olympic qualification. This confrontation of the European Division 1 is part of the eleven legs before the world final in Barcelona in October. Fifty countries were competing last year in the circuit located according three geographic zones: Division 1 of Europe / Northern America, Central America and Caribbean / Middle East. In the Division 1 of Europe, ten nations among the best are competing in 2019.

So far, Switzerland was victorious in La Baule, followed by Belgium and France. France won in St. Gallen in front of Italy and Switzerland. In Sopot, Belgium represented by Niels Bruynseels, Gundrun Patteet, Yves Vanderhasselt, Pieter Devos, took the lead followed by Ireland and France.
