2016 Canadian Olympic Dressage Rankings as of January 31

In the absence of any official information from Equine Canada (EC) on the Canadian Olympic dressage criteria, we will be keeping an updated (UNOFFICIAL) ranking list.

A reminder that because there is also no list of declared athletes (unlike previous years), we have no way of knowing definitively which athletes have declared their pursuit to represent Canadian dressage at the Rio 2016 Olympic , and who haven't - so bear that in mind when looking at our rankings.

What we do know is that the criteria requires athletes to submit:

• Four (4) scores achieved within the period of January 1, 2016 to July 1, 2016.  
• A minimum of two (2) scores must be from the Grand Prix
• At least one (1) score must be from the Grand Prix Speciale.

Since Canada was not able to qualify a team for the Rio Olympics at the 2015 Pan American Games (that slot went to the USA), we did achieve an individual ticket thanks to Belinda Trussell's individual placing.

A second individual slot could be achieved by Canada if they achieve the top athlete placing in their FEI Group on the FEI Olympic Athletes RAnking list. (Groups D & E).

A composite team is likely more unrealistic for Canada to achieve, as it is achieved through the FEI Ranking List and will likely go to Denmark.

Hopefully this will be of help for you to keep track and cheer on your favourite horse/rider combination!

Next up in the calendar are:
February 10 - 14: Global Dressage Festival CDI5*/3*/1*, Wellington, Florida
February 24 - 28: Global Dressage Festival CDI-W, Wellington, Florida
February 25 - 28: LA Winter Dressage CDI-W Burbank, California
