and  4 team bronze Olympic Dressage Medals

Unofficial USET 4/22/00

With two USET Qualifiers remaining before the Selection trials in Florida starting May 12, the top twelve riders are still not determined.  The Official USET Standings as of April 20 do not include Heidelberg Cup nor dropping the lowest score if there are more than two scores.  Our Unofficial Standings including Heidelberg Cup and dropping the lowest score, result in Michael Barisone making the top 12.  

Twelve riders with the highest average Grand Prix scores from the Qualifiers will be invited to compete in the Selection Trials.  A rider may compete two horses as could Robert Dover with Everest and Rainer and Guenter Seidel who actually has four horses qualified but may only ride two:  Foltaire, Guerido, Metallic and Aristocrat.  Michael Barisone has Safir qualified and may make it to the top 12 with Dotato.  

Rules Summary:

  • Only the Grand Prix Scores Count (not the GP Special nor GP Freestyle)

  • Must have at least two Grand Prix scores from the Qualifiers - one may be the new Grand Prix short test, but one must be the full Grand Prix test which will be ridden at Sydney

  • Each rider must have competed in two qualifiers and ridden a Grand Prix plus a Grand Prix Special in one qualifier and a Grand Prix and a Grand Prix Freestyle in a second qualifier.  

  • US riders in Europe may qualify there and not compete in the Selection Trials BUT their average score must be 2 percentage points higher than the third place finisher at the Selection Trials.  

Unofficially the 12 riders with Del Mar in California and Westchester Fairfield in New York qualifiers next weekend, are:
