I have just gotten word that Canada has made their team and individual competitor decisions for the WEGs. The nations have until after the Wednesday jog to pick their riders that will compete in the team competition. The US announced the team/individuals when the full US squad was announced right after the AECs but many countries have waited until now to make their team/individual picks.

As anyone knows, I think the Canadian squad will do really well at the WEGs, and I am sure it was incredibly tough to pick four out of their six brilliant pairs. Ultimately it looks like the decision was made based mostly on the experience of the horses–all four of the team horses competed at Rolex in April and performed really well. Canada should be really proud of their entire squad and really optimistic about this weekend. Go Canada.
