Start List Announced For Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Final

The Fédération Equestre Internationale has named the riders who will compete at the 2012 edition of the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Final.

Eighteen athlete/horse combinations from 12 countries will convene on April 19-22 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.

The favorite to win will be the Netherlands’ Adelinde Cornelissen and Parzival, last year’s champions.

Because the South American League did not send a rider, the FEI allowed for three wild cards from the Western European League.
