The United States Equestrian Federation announced that two new FEI World Cup Dressage qualifying competitions (CDI-Ws) have been added to the American 2011 show calendar.
The two World Cup Qualifiers will be held at the Dressage Affaire CDI-W/Y/J on March 10-13 in Del Mar, CA, and at the Festival of the Horse CDI-W/Y/J on March 31-April 3 in Burbank, CA.
Under the North American League World Cup rules, riders are required to have two starts in a CDI-W to qualify for the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Finals. The top two percentages from the FEI Grand Prix Freestyle will be averaged to calculate the rider's final score.
The two highest ranked horse/rider combinations from the North American League will be invited to attend the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Finals, April 27-May 1, 2011 in Leipzig, Germany.
