The United States has nominated six rider and horse combinations, currently all in Europe, among teams from 20 nations for the dressage World Championships in Aachen, Germany scheduled for Aug. 8-15
The American nominated combinations, five of whom competed at Hagen, Germany last week and the sixth at Hartpury, England, are:
–Meagan DAVIS of Loxahatchee, Florida and TORONTO LIGHTFOOT, 13-year-old Oldenburg gelding owned by Scott Durkin;
–Ashley HOLZER of Wellington and HAWTINS SAN FLORIANA, 14-year-old British-bred Hanoverian mare owned by Diane Fellows and Ashley;
–Jordan LAPLACA of Ledyard, Connecticut and GOLD PLAY, 11-year-old Oldenburg gelding owned by Nancy Hutson and Jordan LaPlaca;
–Kasey PERRY-GLASS Wellington and HEARTBEAT W.P., 14-year-old KWPN gelding owned by Diane Perry;
–Christian SIMONSON of Wellington and FLEAU DE BAIAN, 16-year-old KWPN stallion owned by Zen Elite Equestrian Center, and
–Geñay VAUGHN of Elk Grove, California and GINO, 15-year-old KWPN gelding owned by Michele Vaughn.
Definite entries of no more than four for a team have to be named by July 27. Substitutions can be made through Aug. 10.
Six countries in the championships can qualify teams for the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
The United States, as the host of the 2028 Games, is automatically qualified so the result of these championships will have no bearing on fielding a team in Los Angeles.
