The big change is they got rid of the Nation's Cup quotas for Jumping. They have been added to the World Championships.

 

 

Other changes include:

 

• Should a team fail to obtain the MER certificate they won't be given an individual quota as consolation. They will need to qualify an individual normally.
• Reallocation for Eventing teams will have a maximum of 2 attempts via composite rankings. Afterwards, the quotas will become individual quotas (via Overall Olympic Rankings).
• Reallocation for individual Eventing or Dressage quotas will only have a maximum of 1 attempt through their respective Olympic Group, afterwards it will be reallocated through the Overall Olympic Rankings.
• Team quotas from cancelled events will be reallocated based on the composite rankings of nations from the relevant Olympic Group.
• Horses in Eventing must be at least 9 years old (up from 8 years)
