Eight riders have been marked as German team candidates for Tokyo and Hagen.
The entire German A-team of 2021, which was announced in December 2020 has been long-listed, with exception of two changes: Ingrid Klimke has been dropped as her horse Franziskus is not fit, while Carine Scholz has been submitted to the A-squad with Tarantino.

- Helen Langehanenberg - Annabelle
