American Short List for the 2006 WCYH in Verden

Fri, 06/30/2006 - 00:00
2006 World Championships for Young Dressage Championships

After a series of qualification shows and Eastern, Central and Western League Finals, the U.S. Equestrian Federation has created a short list of combinations that are in the running to participate at the 2006 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden, August 3-6, 2006.

Because the U.S. is allowed two representatives per age division, the two highest ranked horses in these league finals are qualified to compete in Verden. If a rider chooses not to travel to Europe for the World Championships, the next highest qualificant in line will get the offer to go to Verden.
