The German Equestrian Federation and chef d'equipe Holger Schmezer have nominated the German team that will compete in the CDIO Nations' Cup competition at the 2010 CDIO Aachen 14 - 18 July 2010.

This German team will be a test team for the Germans on their path to the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, which takes place 27 September till 1 October 2010. 

The German CDIO team includes:

  • Isabell Werth - Satchmo (by Sao Paulo x Legat)
  • Matthias Alexander Rath  - Sterntaler Unicef (by Sion x Manstein)
  • Christoph Koschel - Donnperignon (by Donnerhall x Matador II)

The Dutch will also be at full force in Aachen with Edward Gal on Totilas, Adelinde Cornelissen on Parzival and Imke Schellekens-Bartels on Sunrise. The Dutch equestrian federation has not yet officially announced their team, though these riders have individually acknowledged their participation. 

"Aachen is a wonderful competition where you want to be as a rider," said Imke Schellekens. "I'm very happy that the show really fits into Sunrise's training schedule for the WEG in Kentucky."
