The 2023 FEI World Cup Finals for dressage, show jumping and Vaulting are scheduled to be held April 4–8, 2023 in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The event is set to be held in the CHI Health Center Omaha and will mark the conclusion of the 2022–23 Dressage, Show jumping and Vaulting World Cup Seasons.[1][2]
Background
The 36th edition of the FEI World Cup Finals was back in Omaha, Nebraska after they hosted the finals in 2017. In Dressage, normally 18 riders qualify for the Finals but some riders troubled with making the trip to the US. Initially, Charlotte Phillips of Australia won the Pacific League qualifier and qualified for the Finals, but due the mandatory vaccinations against Equine Influenza, she was not able to travel because her horse CP Dresden was not vaccinated. Neither the second placed rider Kerry Mack was able to travel because her horse was also not vaccinated and claimed the Australian federation did not notify them about the mandatory vaccination. Instead, European-based Simone Pearce stepped in as Australian representative.[3] Moldovan Alisa Glinka could also not travel to Omaha because of Visa issues and had to withdraw last minute. Glinka has both the Moldovan and Russian nationally and had to go to the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau, but because of the bureaucratic process, she could not get her Visa on time. In total this reduced the number of entries to 16 instead of 18.[4]
During the competition, Dutch Dinja van Liere had to withdraw right before the start of the Grand Prix after passing the Vet-Check the day before. Hermes was not fit to compete. Also, both German Ingrid Klimke and Dutch Marieke van der Putten had to withdraw before the start of the Grand Prix Freestyle after completing the Grand Prix. As the riders stated: "The welfare of the horses is always priority number one."[5]
