On Saturday, March 5, three separate Nations’ Cup team events will be held at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. Following the same format as the traditional Nations’ Cup, a featured event at the Winter Equestrian Festival since 2002, teams of four riders each, with the best three scores counting, will represent their countries in the Nations’ Cups for Children, Junior, and Young Riders.

Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Ireland, Mexico, the United States and Venezuela will all be fielding Nations’ Cup teams, cheered on by legions of fans who are encouraged to show their patriotism.

For many of the participants, the Hollow Creek Farm Nations’ Cup represents the first opportunity to compete as members of a team for their country under International Equestrian Federation (FEI) rules.

“Hollow Creek Farm really enjoys hosting the Nations’ Cup for Children, Junior and Young Rider competitors,” said Angel Karolyi of Hollow Creek Farm. “For many of the riders, this event will be their first opportunity to compete under FEI rules in a team competition that also has the importance of a top championship. Nations’ Cups “The idea is to begin to set the groundwork for young riders to compete together as Sponsored by a team,” continued Karolyi, a veteran of Nations’ Cup and major games competition for his native Venezuela. “The Hollow Creek Farm Nations’ Cup Series gives them the opportunity to experience the team format before they reach the top levels of international competition. It is very important to expose these young riders to the Ad Design and Photography by Starting Gate Communications Inc. | www.startinggate.ca responsibility of not only performing well for yourself, but for others who are relying on you.”

The Young Riders Nations’ Cup will be Saturday’s third and final team competition, featuring competitors aged 16 to 21. The Highest Quality Fencing

Hollow Creek Farm has a living example of the springboard its Nations’ Cup Series can provide. Its star rider, 19-year-old Emanuel Andrade, competed in the Junior Nations’ Cup in both 2013 and 2014 representing his native Venezuela. He has since gone on to compete at the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France, and, at the 2015 Pan American Games held in Toronto, Canada, was involved in a jump-off for the individual bronze medal. Completely maintenance-free fencing While Andrade got his first taste of international team competition in the Hollow designed for your horse’s safety Creek Farm Junior Nations’ Cup, he will be a member of Venezuela’s senior Nations’ Cup team at the Winter Equestrian Festival for the second time in 2016.
