Jan Ebeling, Shelly Francis, Tina Konyot and Steffen Peters were all awarded training and competition grants for European CDIs. They will use these grants to test themselves against many of best European combinations this week in Aachen. The funding for these grants was made possible by the USET Foundation.
Ebeling, Konyot and Peters join forces once again for the U.S. a year after competing together in London. Ebeling (Moorpark, CA) once again will ride Ann Romney, Amy Ebeling, and Beth Meyers' Rafalca, who he has represented the U.S. three times with at the FEI World Cup Finals in addition to their Olympic appearance.
Konyot (Royal Palm Beach, FL) brings her 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games and 2012 London Olympic Games veteran Calecto V to Aachen. The 2010 Collecting Gaits Farm/USEF Grand Prix National Dressage Champions look to showcase the form that earned them two second place finishes at the Schloss Achleiten CDI3* two weeks ago.

Rounding out the U.S. Team for the Aachen CDIO5* is Francis and Patricia Stempel’s Doktor. Francis (Loxahatchee, FL) has used her vast experience, including representing the U.S. at the 1998 FEI World Equestrian Games in Rome, to develop the talented gelding into a future American star. In March, they helped the U.S. earn victory in the Wellington Nations Cup CDIO3* presented by Stillpoint Farm.
Francis will be the first competitor in the ring at 9:00am CEST, Ebeling will follow 10:03am CEST, with Konyot first after the lunch break at 1:15pm CEST. Peters will ride in his familiar role as team anchor at 3:15pm CEST.
