The USEF has announced the nominated entries for dressage and show jumping for this summer’s Olympic games in London.



The final dressage team will consist of three horse-and-rider pairs, plus one that will compete as an individual representing the U.S. The show jumping team will have four pairs.



The dressage nominated entry in ranked order based on results from the USEF Selection Trials & National Dressage Championship:

  1. Steffen Peters and Four Winds Farm’s Legolas 92
  2. Tina Konyot and her own Calecto V
  3. Steffen Peters and Four Winds Farm’s Ravel*
  4. Jan Ebeling and Ann Romney, Beth Meyers, Amy Ebeling’s Rafalca
  5. Adrienne Lyle and Peggy Thomas’ Wizard
  6. Todd Flettrich and Cherry Knoll Farm’s Otto
  7. Heather Blitz and her own Paragon
  8. Guenter Seidel and Toyon Farm’s Fandango
  9. Pierre St. Jacques and his own Lucky Tiger

  11. Shawna Harding and her own Come On III
  12. Susan Blinks and the Minnesota Group’s Robin Hood
  13. Jim Koford on Shirley McQuillan’s Rhett

*In the 2012 Olympic format, three athlete/horse combinations comprise the team and each rider can only ride one horse. Ravel was granted permission to not contest the Trials and is therefore ranked in third.
