Portugal Dressage Nations Cup Scheduled for April 23-25 Canceled

The Portugal dressage Nations Cup that was to be the first for the nation in the trans-Atlantic series has been canceled for the second year in a row in the wake of the equine herpes virus and the continuing coronavirus pandemic. Falsterbo, Sweden set for July has also been canceled.

The CDIO3* at Abrantes was put off from 2020 because of coronavirus and was scheduled for April 23-25, less than two weeks after the end of the lockdown in several European nations following an outbreak of EHV-1 in neighboring Spain in February.

The Nations Cup in Portugal, which has qualified a team for the Olympics in Tokyo in July, was one of six team competitions on the schedule for this year. Team competitions for Under-25, Young Rider, Juniors, Juniors, Children and Pony divisions were also canceled.
