The
first-ever International Equestrian Federation (FEI) "Coupe
des Ameriques" or Championship of the Americas was held from
July 17-21 at Blainville Equestrian Park, just north of Montreal.
Expanded from the North American Dressage Championship concept,
the prestigious FEI 'Coupe des Ameriques' was held in conjunction
with the fourth annual CDI-W Dressage International de Blainville,
presented by Swarovski Canada, and featured $40,000 in prize money
between the two competitions.
The
2002 FEI "Coupe des Ameriques" was an official FEI Regional
Championship. The ground-breaking undertaking had competitors
representing Argentina, Barbados, Canada, Colombia, Dominican
Republic, Guatemala and the United States competing at the Grand
Prix, Advanced, Young Rider and Junior levels.
The
United States was proudly represented by a total of 18 riders
representing all four levels, and earning a total of 12 medals
including two Team Golds, two Team Silvers, two Team Bronzes,
two Individual Golds, two Individual Silvers, and two Individual
Bronzes. Teams and individuals were selected based on qualifying
criteria developed by the USA Equestrian Dressage Committee and
approved by the USA Equestrian Executive Committee.
