A British Equestrian spokesperson said selection decisions are subject to athlete and horse maintaining fitness and performance. The squad of four combinations and the grooms who will travel to Crozet, plus non-travelling reserves, will be announced on or around 31 July.
“The funding that the British Equestrian World Class Programme receives from the National Lottery and UK Sport is pivotal in preparing our teams for senior championships and supporting them on the ground,” she said.
“British Equestrian is also extremely grateful for the support we enjoy from our partners – Agria, Bates Saddles, D&H, NAF, SEIB and Toggi – and team suppliers – Equi-Trek and Lotus Romeo. We’re indebted for the year-round support they provide to the World Class Programme and British teams, which helps us to best prepare for senior championships.”
