The Finnish Nations Cup team has travelled to Slovakia for their next team competition. From Guttecoven we have three riders and three horses in Bratislava: Noora with Vasco, Mikael with Nandele and Maiju with St. Germain. The Nation Cup team's fourth member is Satu Liukkonen.

Friday: Finland placed second in the Nations Cup!

Report

A sunny Bratislava welcomed our riders and the warm-up before the Nations Cup went really well. It was a rather easy 1m40 course our riders faced, which was good introduction for the horses to the arena and fences ahead of the Nations Cup on Friday

Noora with Vasco (0/0) and Mikael with Evli Nandele (0/2) placed, whereas also Maiju with St Germain (0/5) did a decent training round. Noora told it was pleasure to jump Vasco since long time, and the gelding seemed real eager and cleared all the tasks with ease. Also Evli Nandele jumped well, but the energetic mare was not the easiest for Mikael and his still recovering shoulder.

The Nations Cup starting order is: Noora, Maiju, Satu and Mikael. There is 13 teams in the competition and Finland’s starting slot is eleventh.
