"We are very much looking forward to our first Nations Cup competition at the prestigious Tattersalls venue. It has been a great start for the senior riders this season at Belton, Badminton and Chatsworth with very competitive performances in all three phases. Our aim is to keep building on this and have gone for a balance of experience and development of new combinations with this team.
Mark Kyle with his Olympic horse Jemilla, had made himself available for selection, but unfortunately Mark suffered a fracture of his ankle on Cross Country at Chatsworth CIC3*. We wish him a speedy recovery."
