Equestrian Canada has named the horses and riders qualified to be nominated to compete at the Olympic Games July 23-Aug. 8.

Equestrian sport competition dates have been moved forward by one day to mirror the 2020 daily schedule whereby they start on a Saturday.

The FEI president has welcomed the announcement of the new dates for the Tokyo Olympics, running July 23-Aug. 8, and Paralympics Aug. 24- Sept. 5, 2021.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the head of the International Olympic Committee have agreed to delaying the Tokyo Olympics for a year.

A total of 48 countries will be represented in equestrian at the Olympic Games, with Luxembourg, Pakistan and Israel making their debuts.

New rules for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and the process for running three riders to a team still seem unclear ahead of the FEI General Assembly.
