dcro 10,172 Posted August 8, 2018 #31 Share Posted August 8, 2018 New Zealand has named its eventing team. Still gutted that Clarke Johnstone had to be scratched. Still, not a bad team (as if any team with Jonelle Price could be considered bad), however there are some unexpected selections. They chose McClaren for Mark Todd? One could argue that's his 4th best horse, or at least 3rd! His nominally better horses have been named as reserves. Blyth and Dan are not bad (hell, Blyth was an Olympic champion), but still I can see them bringing troubles to NZ based on current form. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted August 10, 2018 #34 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Only 60% for Dittmann in Cappeln today... So this means the Group F team spot will be left unclaimed at WEG, as instead a special Group F qualifying event will be organized next year. Perhaps that's for the best, as instead of getting a spot by default, South Africa might actually face some competition (mainly from Palestine, possibly from Morocco). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted August 10, 2018 #35 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Portugal has named its WEG team. They will compete in dressage, jumping, para-dressage and endurance. https://www.fep.pt/Noticias/Article/3150/Conjuntos-Convocados-WEG-2018 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted August 11, 2018 #36 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Belgium team for WEG... https://www.equibel.be/nl/2018/08/10/selecties-world-equestrian-games-tryon/ Jumping team is their main hope. Eventers are not bad, but they lack experience. Dressage once again looks promising on paper, but Belgians always manage to screw up their chances. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted August 12, 2018 #37 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Isabell Werth apparently wants Bella Rose to be her WEG horse (the one that was sidelined through injury between November 2014 and July 2018). Right now they are improving with each show. But it will be up to the German selectors to choose Werth's mount... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vojthas 947 Posted August 12, 2018 #40 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I won't be surprised if we won't send anybody. This year the federation created such hard (and according to athletes controversial) conditions to be in wide national team, that there is very few athletes.
