Fifteen full teams are among the 20 nations that will compete in dressage at the ECCO FEI European Championships in Herning, Denmak Aug. 20-25.
The final list of entries released Monday by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) shows that the core of most of the top teams includes the three combinations that comprised the national squads at the Olympic Games in London last summer, among them the three medal winners–Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands.
Adelinde Cornelissen and Jerich Parzival, recently treated for heart arrhythmia, a not uncommon affliction in sport horses, who won individual silver in London was selected for the Dutch team although the pair did not compete in selection trials.
The British partnerships of Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro and Laura Tomlinson and Mistral Hojris, the individual gold and bronze medalists, respectively, were also chosen for their country as was Carl Hester and Uthopia that won the team gold in London as well as the country’s first ever European Championship team gold at Rotterdam in 2011.
The Herning event will be the first European Championships to host para-dressage alongside dressage and jumping.
The dressage start list will have a total of 69 riders, with 15 national federations entering full teams of at least three horses and riders–up to four can compete on a team but only the top three scores count.
Countries bidding for team medals are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Five nations will be represented by individuals: Armenia, Ireland, Poland, Russia and Ukraine.
Great Britain took its first team gold at the 2011 Championships in Rotterdam where home favorite Adelinde took both individual titles, the Grand Prix Special and Freestyle.
