The nominated entries for eventing have now been posted on the World Equestrian Games website, giving us a look at Great Britain’s reserve list, which hadn’t previously been revealed.
Harry Meade and Gemma Tattersall both tweeted that they had been named to the reserve list after the main squad was named June 19. The full reserve list is as follows:
Jodie Amos and Wise Crack
Sarah Bullimore and Reve Du Rouet, Valentino V
William Fox-Pitt and Bay My Hero, Parklane Hawk
Louise Harwood and Whitson
Richard Jones and Highland Ford
Harry Meade and Wild Lone
Gemma Tattersall and Arctic Soul
Izzy Taylor and Orlando
Oliver Townend and Armada
Nicola Wilson and Annie Clover, Beltane Queen
Replacements are expected to be named shortly for Izzy Taylor and Allercombe Ellie and Pippa Funnell and Billy Beware, who both withdrew from the squad — Izzy due to a “setback in training” and Pippa due to a lameness issue.
Team GBR is currently Tina Cook and De Novo News, William Fox-Pitt and Chilli Morning, Zara Phillips and High Kingdom, and Oliver Townend and Black Tie II.
As you’ll see on the nominated entries, each nation could enter a maximum of 18 athletes and 18 horses. A total of 28 national federations named athletes for the Games, with 16 of those nominating teams for a total of 138 athletes and 168 horses.
Definite entries must be named on August 14, when 99 final combinations are expected to appear on the entry list. Each national federation may then enter a maximum of six athletes and six horses.
