Great news for me. :cheer:

 

Not sure when ClipMyHorse started, but I feel like I've been with them since the beginnings (when they only covered German competitions). :d

:CAN team dressage rider Karen Pavicic will ride for :CRO from now. Did not see that coming, but definitely an interesting prospect for us! :yikes:

 

In other news, :USA Sabine Schut-Kerry & Sanceo made an impressive international big tour debut last week. One to note for the WEG selection.

Interesting. Qualifying will be relatively harder for her, but being chosen by the nation will be a lot easier. Is she currently Croatia's best dressage rider?

Yeah, her experience is just by far greater than what anyone has here. More about the switch can be read here.

Thanks. I'm not surprised, our equestrian federation is relatively underfunded to the talent we have (most riders are rich anyway so they feel they can afford it).

 

Croatia is in Group B correct? (why does FEI still refer to them by A-G while the main site has groups I-IX) There's a few good nations in that group, but if 3 or more qualify to the team event things start to open up for the individual quota.

 

I also think it's ridiculous that the team events will have 3 events. Eventing might as well be a lottery. It should be 12 teams of 4 (15 for jumping) plus individual quotas.

Croatia is in the Group C, rather. Group C is basically everything behind the "iron curtain" + Greece/Turkey. :p

 

Eventing will have its technical XC level reduced from 4* to 3*, so it should be somewhat easier to get around, while the time will have its influence of course. Olympic format - 4* dressage, 3* XC, 4* jumping -  will be used at WEG for the first time (with 4-member teams though), however WEG should still give some insight.

 

European championships have always been on 3* level for example, so it's not getting terribly easier either.

Group C makes things a bit easier. Russia/Ukraine will get the team quota, after that there isn't too much competition.

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
