The British Eventing Senior Selectors have confirmed the combinations that will compete at the 2019 Boekelo Horse Trials (NED), 10 – 13 October.

With only 15 guaranteed spaces allocated for Great Britain, riders wishing to compete at the event were invited to apply and saw more than 60 applications received.

Of the 15 guaranteed places, 12 will go to confirmed combinations; with the option of three wildcards should the selector need them.

In previous years Boekelo have accepted between 22 – 25 British combinations but this cannot be relied upon being the norm as it is dependent on entries from other nations. It is noted that a number of the combinations below are entered for Blenheim Palace CCI4*-L and Burghley Horse Trials, they will automatically drop off the list if the complete the cross country at either event.
