Boekelo, Final of the Eventing Nations Cup Series
In Boekelo, the Netherlands, the cross-country riders are not only competing for victory in the CCIO4*-NC-L, but above all to determine who will win the 2026 Nations Cup Series.

- Antonia Baumgart and Ris de Talm
- Arne Bergendahl and Road2LA horse Bronco NRW
- Ann-Catrin Bierlein and Sir Scotty
- Rebecca-Juana Gerken and Fame
