Click here to view the riders who were given grants this year after submitting applications and sitting for an interview with a panel of selection board members.While James Alliston and Karma, who were most recently members of the silver medal-winning Team USA at CHIO Aachen earlier this month, will not be returning to defend their CCI4*-L, the pathway this pair has taken en route to a berth on the Olympic short list is demonstrative of the influence a strong result at Rebecca Farm can play in a horses trajectory. Ian Stark has designed the FEI cross country at Rebecca Farm since 2011 and is currently in the midst of his final year as an active designer. His courses, which will be sorely missed after the 2024 season, have earned a reputation as strong but understandable and readable tracks that truly test the bravery and preparation of both horse and rider.

Originally piloted by Alexa Lapp before Jennie took over the ride, Pascal is a real one to watch as a future 5* horse in the making. This is his first season at Advanced and will be his first 4*-L.We also see several other travelers on the 4*-L list, including Julie Wolfert and SSH Playboy, who are ticking closer and closer to a 5* move-up as are Dani Sussman and Jos Bravio, Ashley Adams and Charly, and Karen ONeal and Clooney 14. For their part, Pacific Northwest-based Karen ONeal and Clooney 14 are coming off a strong win in the 4*-S at Aspen Farms and will be making their first 4*-L start together this weekend.The CCI4*-S division also has several pairs to watch, including Australias Bec Braitling and Caravaggio II, who delivered a strong 5* debut at Kentucky this spring and are now aiming for the Maryland 5 Star this fall.

Renee Kalkman and her Twin Rivers Advanced winner, Flame Eternal, will also contest this division.
