JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted January 21, 2023 #51 Share Posted January 21, 2023 @dcro just want to double check. In the Abu Dhabi event, both the Grand Prix and Nations Cup count towards the MER? Also can an athlete get an MER in both events or is the overarching event counted as a single event? Based on what I've read it should count for two, but maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Not 100% sure, but I believe multiple classes per event can count, yes. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted January 22, 2023 #53 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Jumping Abu Dhabi (Grand Prix) CSIO5* Results The following have achieved 2/3 MER result Billy Twomey (Chat Botte E.D.) Gerfried Puck (Equitron Naxcel V) Abdurakhmon Abdullaev (Valour) Bianca Babanitz (Caipidor) The following have achieved 1/3 MER result Emanuele Gaudiano (Chalou) David Will (My Prins van Dorperheide) Kristaps Neretnieks (Quintair) Amre Hamcho (Vagabon des Forets) Abdel Said (Arpege du Ru( William Funnell (Equine America Billy Picador) Ioli Mytilineou (Levis de Muze) Katharina Rhomberg (Cuma) Abdulrahman Bader Alrajhi (Bravour) Rodrigo Giesteira Almeida (Imposant van de Renger) Decided to show the qualifiers from the Grand Prix event prior to the Nations Cup event. Some athletes have obtained their second MER result after getting one last week while other athletes decided to compete on a different horse. The Austrian pair will have an opportunity to be the first athlete to complete the MER at the Nations Cup tomorrow. Austria still needs to qualify a quota if it wants to compete at the Olympics. maestro and Gianlu33 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted January 22, 2023 #54 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Jumping Abu Dhabi (Nations Cup) CSIO5* Results The following have achieved 3/3 MER result Gerfried Puck (Equitron Naxcel V) The following have achieved 2/3 MER result Katharina Rhomberg (Cuma) Joe Whitaker (Hulahupe Jr) Tim Gredley (Medoc de Toxandria) William Funnell (Equine America Billy Picador) Jessica Burke (Nikey HH) Michael Duffy (Cinca) Shane Breen (Cuick Star Kervec) Abdullah Humaid Al Muhairi (Chacolu) Ahmad Saber Hamcho (Frenchy VDS) Amre Hamcho (Vagabon des Forets) The following have achieved 1/3 MER result Christopher Obernauer (Kleons Renegade) Donald Whitaker (Millfield Colette) Trevor Breen (Germaine W) Abdulrahman Bader Alrajhi (Bablou HD) Khaled Almobty (Equine America Spacecake) Ramzy Al Duhami (Untouchable) Abdullah Alsharbatly (Alamo) Mohammed Ghanem Al Hajri (G's Fabian) Shk. Ali Jmal Nasr Al Nuaimi (Casper AJ) We have our first athlete/horse combo with a complete MER in jumping. Just to let everyone know once an athlete/horse combo has fulfilled the MER requirements I will stop mentioning them. Perhaps in the future I will share a link with everyone who has completed the MER requirements. As a reminder, for the Nations Cup only, an athlete can get the MER is either the first or second round. Also as this (and the Grand Prix event from earlier) were 1.60m events the MER is 8 faults or less as oppose to 4 faults or less in 1.55m events. Jumping Wellington CSI3* Results The following have achieved 1/3 MER result Kent Farrington (Landon) Daniel Coyle (Gisborne VDL) Tanimara Maria Macari Carrillo (IB Chica) Charlotte Jacobs (Edocenta) Laura Kraut (Calgary Time) Emilie Conter (Legolas Ter Wilgen) Nichole Shahinian-Simpson (Akuna Mattata) Nayel Nassar (El Conde) Zoe Conter (Davidoff De Lassus) Mclain Ward (Callas) Ben Maher (Exit Remo) Callie Schott (Garant) Raleigh Hiler (Obora's Chloe) David Blake (Claude) Samuel Hutton (Full House Ter Linden Z) Ashley Vogel (Madiba AG Z) Adrienne Sternlicht (Faquitol-S) The first of 12 Wellington events to be held from now until April had a good turn out. The Brazilian group didn't fare too well with none of them reaching the MER, but there's obviously many more opportunities. Jumping Thermal CSI3* Results The following have achieved 1/3 MER result Gregory Wathelet (Clarity) Ali Ramsay (Bonita VH Keizershof Z) Lorcan Gallagher (Copycat) Mavis Spencer (Carissimo 25) Eric Krawitt (Cactus De Cosniere) Conor Swail (Theo 160) Elisa Broz (Kargenta Van't Meerhof) Kyle King (Sig Chiari) Cassio Rivetti (Nadale Van Dorperheide) Conor Swail (Vital Chance De La Roque) On the west side of the United States things are a bit quieter, but still a decent size is here. Thermal will have five events between now and April. As for the eventing event in I am unable to find a website. Hopefully the FEI will update the results sooner than later. maestro and Laraja 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted January 25, 2023 #56 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Results are in from Quillota. https://data.fei.org/Result/ResultList.aspx?p=AEA873B0354C2DDFFCC71E39299DDD4D68D16D33FC7A897C3CFE73164E9FBEDC85CA703CF95D562D86A621768D9E7146 Only the winner got MER. Just barely. 4* is no joke. Useful 41 points for Bittner, but pretty disappointing for the Chilean team hopes. They will struggle to qualify now even if they upset Brazil or Canada at the home Pan Ams. There is one other Chilean in Europe though, Jonathan Cisterna, whom I expect to obtain MER. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my calculations are correct, Ibanez was two seconds away from getting the MER and I believe Lobos is good enough too (though I think this is a different horse from the last time I saw him). Of course given the limited amount of attempts an eventing rider can have in a year failing at a great opportunity such as this isn't good. There's another event next month in Quillota. Should they fail they will be forced to travel, most likely to Colombia and/or Argentina. Edited January 25, 2023 by JoshMartini007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted January 26, 2023 #58 Share Posted January 26, 2023 And just like that the CSI4*-L event in Quillota next month has been cancelled. Only the CSI4*-S will be held. I guess with likely only one entrant there was no point in hosting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Bittner technically doesn't need L MER yet. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
