The Brits may not have had the best season in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup series – with the team being relegated from European Division One for next year.

But they will take part in the prestigious Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup Final in Barcelona later this month, having received an invitation to compete, and not only that, but Team GB is sending a crack team to Spain.

Heading to the Real Club de Polo de Barcelona later this month (22-25 September) as part of Britain’s ‘Team Cavalor’ are Nick Skelton and Big Star, heroes from Rio 2016 where they landed an individual gold medal. They’ll be joined by Olympic team mates John Whitaker with Ornellaia, and Michael Whitaker, this time on Viking V.

They’ll be joined by Tim Stockdale and the star mare Fleur de L’Aube, and a certain Scott Brash with Ursula XII, very recent winners of the CP International from Spruce Meadows.

You can watch highlights of the action on Horse & Country TV on Thursday 29 September at 9pm. Watch on Sky channel 253 – or sign up to H&C Play.
