Canadian Eventing Committee is pleased to announce the 2012 Eventing Talent Squad. Selection for the Talent Squad is based upon results of FEI level eventing competitions. The Talent Squad consists of riders from the CCI/CCIO two star level and up who, by their performance during the time period designated under general regulations, have shown potential to reach the international elite level.
Riders are selected to the 2012 Talent Squad by one of three ways:
• riders who have completed a CCI/CCIO/CIC two star level event and achieved an FEI Qualification score but who have not achieved Long List criteria;**
• riders who have completed a CCI/CCIO/CIC three star event who have not met the Short or Long List criteria; or**
• riders who are on the Talent Squad in 2011 and fail to meet the criteria for the 2012 Squad, may be maintained on the Talent Squad for one year on the recommendation of the Eventing High Performance Committee (HPC)
** NOTE: Extenuating circumstances may be considered by the HPC on a case by case situation. i.e. too many time penalties cross-country due to inclement environmental conditions.
