2016 Canadian Olympic Dressage Rankings as of April 3

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

This list includes declared athletes only.
See EC's list of declared athletes. 

Chris von Martels continues to improve with each show, now breaking the 70% barrier with Divertimento. Belinda Trussell & Anton continue to have a lock on the top ranking, and Karen Pavicic with Don Daiquiri has overtaken Megan Lane & Caravella for the 3rd slot.  

Although the criteria is not public, what we do know is that it requires horse/rider combinations to submit:

• Four (4) scores achieved within the period of January 1, 2016 to July 3, 2016.  
• A maximum of two (2) scores can be from the Grand Prix Speciale.
• A maximum of two (2) scores can be from the same competition
• All scores must be a minimum of 68%

So bear this in mind when looking at the scores accrued to date by these riders as a number are still working towards achieving all 4 of their qualifying scores.

We have also removed all non-qualifying scores from the chart.

Canada Secures 2 Individual Olympic Slots

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 & Anton's individual placing at the Pan Ams.

A second individual slot was achieved by Canada thanks to Megan Lane & Caravella's top placing in the FEI Group D & E on the FEI Olympic Athletes Ranking list. (see below).

The composite team has gone to Denmark as a result of their athlete's top placings in the FEI Olympic Ranking List. 

Who will Represent Canada in Rio?

 Once the FEI formally notifies Equine Canada of their 2 individual spots, and EC confirms they will be filling these, all that is left now is for EC to identify who will be riding in Rio.

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