Ottawa, ON – The Canadian Eventing High Performance Committee (HPC) has announced the 2010 Talent Squad.
Selection for the 2010 Talent Squad is based upon results of FEI international eventing competitions. The Talent Squad consists of riders from the CCI/CCIO/CIC 2(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 2010 Talent Squad in one of three ways
• riders who have completed a CCI/CCIO/CIC 2(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 3(three) star event who have not met the Short or Long List criteria**, or
• riders who are on the Talent Squad in 2009, who fail to meet the criteria for the 2010 Squad, may be maintained on the Talent Squad for one year on the recommendation of the Eventing High Performance Committee.
