[RC] Please post to your regional organizations - Michael MaulPosted for Kathy Brunjes - the Chair of the the AERC-International Committee. ****************************************************** The Selection Committee wanted me to remind all nominees that anyone who did not qualify for the National Training Squad in 2005 still has an opportunity to qualify for the Squad as a "Late Addition" as explained on page four of the Selection Procedures for the 2006 World Equestrian Games endurance Championship National Training Squad and National Team. (See below): U.S. 2006 OBSERVATION TRIALS 1. To be considered for late addition to the National Training Squad (applications received after the date of the final 2005 Selection Trial but before May 29, 2006 or for earlier applicants who failed to qualify to the National Training Squad in 2005), horse/rider combinations must complete at least one (1) Selection Trial, as an applicant, in 2005 or an Observation Trial in 2006 within 130% of the winning time at said Trial. For example:If the winning time at a particular trial is ten (10) hours, anyone who completed the ride in 13 hours or less, would be eligible to be selected to the National Training Squad (10 hours x 1.3 = 13 hours). Those horse/rider combination(s) may then be named to the National Training Squad via Late Addition selection as detailed in Section "National Training Squad Selection" below. 2.The 2006 Observation Trials will be named by the USEF Endurance HP Committee as soon as practicable after the 2006 FEI Ride Calendar is finalized. It is anticipated that there will be no less than two and no more than four 2006 Observation Trials named. 3. All applicant riders will be notified of any changes to these Observation Trials as soon as practicable. If any riders have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Linda Strelnik, Selectors Chair Thanks, Mary M.
