Brazil and Japan confirmed their quota (four)?

Yes, some time ago. All quotas are confirmed.

So you can go there and make some pictures. Or interviews since you like to contact the athletes.

I guess I will either be at home or at an event with the power of 450-500 horses per participant  

 

But who knows, if for some reason I decide to visit my first equestrian event ever, I'll take some pictures

...and for the first time since 1968 there is no Ian Millar (Captain Canada) in jumping team. At least Amy Millar (his daughter) and Yann Candele (my second favourite Canadian) are there, but that is hardly a consolation.

Lol, same time. His best horse got injured and looks like that's the reason why no Captain Canada this time.

Team Canada:

 

Dressage:

• Megan Lane on Caravella
• Belinda Trussell on Anton

Eventing

• Rebecca Howard on Riddle Master

• Jessica Phoenix on A Little Romance

Sadly no Ian Millar, but it will be some consolation to him that his daughter Amy will make her Olympic debut. Very female heavy team (8 women, 2 men).

British eventing team member Izzy Taylor had to withdraw after her horse got injured. Two-time Olympian Pippa Funnell is the replacement with Billy The Biz.
