Poland wishes. :d I can't see him obtaining MERs at such high level competitions.

Sky is the limit :D Everything is possible ;) Poland is near, maybe riders from Ukraine will participate.  MERs are not so high. And many events still will be held in Europe.

Dutch "short-list" for dressage...

 

Minderhoud is listed with Zonik even though he never competed internationally with him and obviously has no MER? Maybe he plans to campaign the horse on back-to-back weekends just before the deadline.

 

My prediction is Edward Gal, HP Minderhoud and Dinja van Liere, with Emmelie Scholtens being the reserve and really the main victim of the postponement...

Isn't Dufour qualified with Cassidy as well, @dcro?

She is, but presumably she chose to withdraw Cassidy due to his age.

 

Bohemian is her main star right now, but still, Cassidy would have been a better substitute than Vamos Amigos.

And proven correct on the same day. :yikes:

 

Scholtens withdrew today from the selection trials, and therefore, the Olympics. Last year she had two horses ready. Big victim of the postponement.

I guess Marlies van Baalen and Adelinde Cornelissen will fight it out for the travelling reserve spot then...

As expected, :THA Arinadtha Chavatanont & Boleybawn Prince delivered in the dressage today. They are a really solid combination, so normally they should be able to obtain MER quite easily come Sunday, but this is sport and anything can happen in one competition.

@Dolby:IND Fouaad Mirza owned the dressage today. 1st + 2nd! :hatoff:

To qualify for Tokyo, he needs to obtain the MER on either Seigneur Medicott or Dajara, but of course qualifying them both and having options would be ideal.

 

Live stream should be available here (only live and window-sized content available for non-subscribers, but more than enough to follow).
