Ottawa, Ontario --- The Three Day Event Selection Committee
is pleased to announce the names of the Short Listed horse/rider combinations for the
Three Day Event competition at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, AUS.
In total, six horse/rider combinations met the Short List criteria. The six horse/rider
combinations, listed in alphabetical order, are:

Unfortunately, Black has withdrawn due to injury to his qualified horse. The remaining
short listed horses and riders will compete in a Mandatory Short List Outing at Over The
Walls Advanced Horse Trials at Great Meadowbrook Farm in Massachusetts, August 5-6.
British-based St. John will compete at the Cornbury Park Advanced Horse Trials, July
22-23.
As described in the Short List criteria, the purpose of the Mandatory Short List Outing is
for horse/rider combinations to demonstrate their continued preparation, fitness,
soundness and ability. The Selectors wish to assess the performance of the horse/rider
combination without placing undue stress on the horse, therefore points will not be
awarded at these competitions.
Following a 14 day quarantine, the North American-based horses depart from New York on
August 22 for the 27 hour flight to Sydney, AUS. The British-based horse will depart on
August 22 or 23. Upon arrival in Sydney, the horses will be transported to the Sydney
International Equestrian Centre at Horsley Park, the site of all of Olympic equestrian
competition. The three day event competition begins September 16 and runs until September
22.
