This
list is impressive not only in numbers but also by the fact that
it represents five World Champions: Becky Hart having won the
title three times and Valerie Kanavy who is a two-time World Champion.
Many medalists and top ten finishers from Pan American Endurance
Championships are also represented on this list.
All
nominees will be observed at each of the Selection Trials by the
Selection Committee which is made up of representatives from each
of the five US Zones as well two Active Athlete Selectors and
the Chef d’Equipe and Team Veterinarian as Ex Officio participants.
At each Selection Trial, all nominated horses will be examined
by the Team Veterinarians both before and after the ride in order
to establish medical base lines for the horses and give the riders
advice on management issues.
