WEG nominated entries: 122 eventers from 23 countries

The nominated entries by country list for the WEGs includes 995 total pairs from 58 nations.   The nominated entries list is a list of pairs that have been submitted by national federations that might compete at the WEGs.  For example, the USEF sent in 18 nominated entries for eventing–the entire short list–and of course, we will only send 6 eventers to the WEGs.

Only the USA, Germany, Australia, and *Canada have sent in nominated entries for every single WEG discipline.  It wouldn’t shock me if the USA ends up being the only country with a full set of WEG entries.    

Eventing has the third most nominated entries with 122, behind show jumping (201) and dressage (162).  Combined driving has the least nominated entries with 30, which is unsurprising considering the transportation costs associated with that sport. 

Looking specifically at the eventing 23 countries have sent in at least one nominated entry for eventing.  8 countries just sent in individual entries, and 15 countries sent enough for teams:

USA (team)

And now you know the rest of the story.  Go USA!
