Twenty-seven horses have been entered for the Wild Card Day on 27 March 2012 during which selectors will pick two horses per age category which can continue the Dutch selection process for the 2012 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden, Germany, begin August 2012.
The Dutch Equestrian Federation and KWPN society work together in choosing the Dutch team.
