IRELAND’s show jumping team manager Rodrigo Pessoa named his squad, sponsored by Devenish and The Underwriting Exchange, for the sixth round of the FEI Nations Cup Division 1 at Falsterbo in Sweden.

The five-star Falsterbo Nations Cup takes place next Friday, July 14th and will be Ireland’s fourth of six points-scoring rounds as they continue their quest to qualify for the Nations Cup world final in Barcelona.

Pessoa said: “We are in final stretch of the FEI Nations Cup season with three big events at Falsterbo, Hickstead and Dublin leading up to the European Championships. This is a crucial time in the season. We are looking for our first Division 1 win and are hoping it will come sooner or later.”
