THE Irish show jumping squad has been named for the Wellington four-star Nations Cup, which takes place at Palm Beach International Equestrian Centre in Florida, USA next Friday, March 3rd, as part of the Winter Equestrian Festival. Ireland are the defending champions after winning at the same venue 12 months ago and come into the competition in excellent form having won the Ocala Nations Cup just a week ago.
