The Dressage Committee of the Belgian Equestrian Federation has made a change to the squad selection criterium after a meeting with team trainer and technical advisor Sjef Janssen.
At this meeting it was decided to extend the period for international selection from six to nine months. This means that a rider and horse combination can be selected for international shows based on a period of nine months. It also implies that the results from the 9 month period will count for squad selection.
The committee has also changed the squads and will continue with five teams: the A, B, C, U25 and High Potentials teams.
