Harry Charles and new ride LT Holst Freda produce a triple clear on their team debut, helping Great Britain win the Rotterdam leg of the Longines League of Nations.
As we reach the final days in the countdown to the FEI World Championships, we now have a complete list of definite entries, with 179 horses and riders set to compete in Aachen later this month representing 55 nations. If you want to keep up to date with all the Showjumping World Championships news and insight, Horse & Hound is here to help.
Each nation can enter up to five horse and rider combinations, but only four will take part in both the team and individual competition. If a nation is unable to enter a team of three or four riders, they can enter one or two riders to compete as individuals. The fifth rider can jump the warm-up round on Tuesday 18 August, although they will not be able to compete in the FEI World Championships unless they are swapped in as a last-minute replacement.
The following list of team and individual representatives has been updated to include all the latest horse swaps and withdrawals and the most up-to-date athletes.

How are teams selected?
Each country follows its own selection process. The British selectors chose their showjumping team based on who is most likely to achieve the objectives; of qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and winning as many medals as possible. Their selections take into account combination results, including in five-star Nations Cup and grands prix, this year and last.
