As the countdown to the equestrian competitions at the Tokyo Olympic Games continues, selection committees around the world have chosen their Olympic eventing teams.

Under the new Olympic eventing format, teams will be made up for three horses and rider combinations, plus one alternate who can be swapped in at various stages of the competition under certain circumstances.
