American WEG Short List Announced
 The
United States Equestrian Team (USET) has announced the
short list, which will determine the dressage team for
the World Equestrian Games in Jerez.
The final selections were made following the Dressage
Trials which took place over the first two weekends
in June at the USET headquarters and Olympic Training
Centre in Gladstone, New Jersey. However, with great
interest the selection committee looked at the performances
of the short listed riders who travelled to Europe to
compete amongst a top field of the strong European competitors.
The results of Lisa Wilcox and Relevant were especially
scrutinized and after her fourth place in the Grand
Prix Freestyle at the CDIO Aachen, the decision for
the final American WEG Dressage Team was made.
The short-listed riders who will now travel to Europe
for further training before competing at WEG in September,
are:
Debbie McDonald and Bretina
Guenter Seidel and Nikolaus
Sue Binks and Flim Flam
Lisa Wilcox and Relevant
Christine Traurig and Etienne
Germany's Olympic rider and trainer Klaus Balkenhol
is the US dressage team coach.
