The USEF has announced the nominated entries for dressage and show jumping for this summer’s Olympic games in London.

The final dressage team will consist of three horse-and-rider pairs, plus one that will compete as an individual representing the U.S. The show jumping team will have four pairs.

The dressage nominated entry in ranked order based on results from the USEF Selection Trials & National Dressage Championship:

1. Steffen Peters and Four Winds Farm’s Legolas 92
2. Tina Konyot and her own Calecto V
3. Steffen Peters and Four Winds Farm’s Ravel*
4. Jan Ebeling and Ann Romney, Beth Meyers, Amy Ebeling’s Rafalca
