Teams from 19 nations and 17 individuals were confirmed Tuesday as definite entries for the World Championships in dressage at Aachen, Germany in two weeks.
Four combinations–the top three scores will count in the team competition of the Grand Prix–were named for all nations except Thailand which has entered three riders and horses.
Isabell Werth, the seemingly timeless superstar as the most decorated Olympic and World Championship equestrian in history, is confirmed on Wendy de Fontaine as a likely medalist for Germany at the same show grounds where she and Satchmo claimed gold at the 2006 World Equestrian Games.
Ashley Holzer on Hawtins San Floriana is also returning to Aachen, but this year as a member of Team USA while in 2006 she rode Gambol for Canada.
The Grand Prix to decide team medals is scheduled for two days, Aug. 11-12, the Special two days later on Aug. 14 and the Freestyle to wrap up dressage on Aug. 15.
