Friday's CSIO3* Nations Cup of Rabat at the Morocco Royal Tour went to Switzerland, with Nadja Peter Steiner on Saura de Fondcombe (Balou du Rouet x Paladin des Ifs), Alain Jufer on Rahmannshof Tic Tac (Contact van de Heffinck x Fuego du Prelet), Aurelia Loser on Quelmec du Gery (Pamphile x Jasper) and Pius Schwizer on Balou Rubin R (Balou du Rouet x Couleur-Rubin) as a part of the team. 

Following the first round, the Swiss had a total of eight penalties after a clear round from Peter Steiner and four faults apiece for the remaining three riders. However, with clear rounds in round two from Peter Steiner, Loser and Schwizer the Swiss team rode themselves up to take the top honours. 

After sitting in pole position on a clean sheet following round one, France fell down the ranks as round two was jumped collecting twelve faults – finishing in runner-up position. Julia Dallamano was double clear for the team riding Hoepala vh Daalhof (Kashmir van Schuttershof x Clinton I).

On a total of 24 faults followed Italy, that took the third place.
