Equestrian FEI World Championships 2022

Sadly no history for Croatia as Karen Pavicic has pulled out from the competition today. It's not a case of injury, just seems to be her evaluation based on her experience with Totem.

 

And indeed, their international experience is as limited as it can be. You need 66% from two Grand Prix classes to qualify for the World Championships, and that's exactly how many Grand Prix classes she has started (once in November and once in June).

 

I am sad, but hopefully the ball will start rolling next year, and then again in Paris of course.

 

In other news,  Henri Ruoste has unfortunately withdrawn too (not fit to compete). Finnish chances of Olympics qualification here are gone.

 

 Estelle Wettstein has withdrawn too (personal reasons).

 

And just this morning things still looked very bright with still not a single withdrawal in the news...

Are they reading this thread? Or is it just an incredible coincidence?

"No history for Croatia" and Karen Pavicic "pulling out". This is exactly my first sentence in the post above.

Definite entries are out.

 

In a nutshell,  are sending just the individuals and not a team in dressage, while  are doing the same in jumping.

 

 is the only nation who withdrew entirely.

Has our dressage team really dropped that much or is this a cost saving thing?

A bit of both actually. Brittany Fraser is out on the baby break. Kellock and Von Martels sort of disappeared after Tokyo.

 

Laliberte and Torkkelli were selected based on required scores. Chia and Lane came close to the selection criteria, but finally the federation was not interested to finance their trip... Pia Fortmuller travelled to Europe at her own arrangement, but looks like the federation chose to rather not send the 5th ranked rider just to form a team of convenience.

Meanwhile, Brazil will be an interesting team to follow here. As we know, Joao Oliva made his big breakthrough last year. Then this year, Pedro de Almeida just exploded too.

 

They may be heading to a score of 210%, which can produce a very respectable placing.

In jumping or dressage?
