The two available slots will now be taken by reserve riders, Tinne Vilhelmson Silfven from Sweden and Poland’s Katarzyna Milczarek. The Final will take place in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, from March 25-27.
As the reigning Olympic and nine-time World Cup title-holder Anky van Grunsven from the Netherlands didn’t qualify this year, and the 2008-2009 FEI World Cup Dressage series winner, Steffen Peters of the United States, decided not to defend his title, Edward Gal and the incomparable Totilas have emerged as the favorites.
The full list of participants is as follows:
The Netherlands — Edward Gal, Adelinde Cornelissen and Imke Schellekens-Bartels
Germany — Isabell Werth, Matthias Alexander Rath and Carola Koppelmann
Sweden — Patrick Kittel and Tinne Vilhelmson Silfven
