Nations Cup Teams (CDIOs) & Compete Abroad



Nations Cups (CDIOs) & Compete Abroad Programs

CDIO competitions are Team Competitions. CDIOs may be held at Senior Level (i.e. CDIO3*, CDIO5*) as well as at youth and developing Grand Prix levels (i.e. CDIO-Y, CDIO-U25).  Some CDIOs (at the Senior level) are also part of the FEI Nations Cup Series. The FEI began the pilot FEI Nations Cup series for Dressage in 2013 which became official in 2016. The US won the first official series in 2016 and placed second in 2017.
