The five combinations selected for the Australian Team are:

• Edwina Tops-Alexander and Fellow Castlefield
• Rowan Willis and Handsome
• Tom McDermott and Oaks Ventriloquist
• Jamie Winning-Kermond and Tulara Wat Colblensky
• Thaisa Erwin and Hialita B

Hilary Scott and Lola have been named as the reserve combination.

Our understanding is that five combinations can ride in the warm-up class and the final team of 4 will be selected after that.

To represent Australia on the world stage is one of the greatest honours in the sport, and each of these combinations now carries the hopes of the Australian jumping community with them to Aachen.
