WELLINGTON, Florida, Feb. 13, 2025–Five countries–USA, Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden–have entered teams for the CDIO3* Nations Cup at the Global Dressage Festival next week.

Late entries of teams staved off the possibility of a cancellation of the event for the first time since its establishment at Global in 2013, the first time the Nations Cup became an annual feature of American dressage matching the top events in Europe.

Germany has won the last four Nations Cups in Wellington. The USA took silver each year, with Canada bronze in 2021 and 2022 and Sweden filling third place in 2023 and 2024

Lack of entries this year led to cancellation of the Under-25 Nations Cup.
