Billing and Laderoute have attended many of the twelve qualify- ing events in North America since January 2009, with the last being Iron Horse CDE on August 1, 2010. In order to qualify for the Canadian Team, each driver and horse must compete in all three sections of the combined driving competition and not exceed a maximum of 70 penalty points in driven dressage. Each driv- er may enter up to 10 qualified hors- es on the nominated entry for WEG. However, they must select five of those nominated horses for the defi- nite entry, which must be filed before October 2, 2010. Prior to each of the three competitions the driver may choose any four of the five horses to be used.
WEG Combined Driving Event is comprised of three sections, driven dressage, marathon and obstacle-
cones. The final placings are determined by the driver with the lowest combined number of penalties throughout all three competitions for individ- ual results. To determine rank- ing among nations, the best two scores by the team drivers who have completed all three competitions can be used. The nation with the lowest total penalty points wins. There will be two days of driven dressage on October 7th and 8th followed by the exciting marathon competition on Sat- urday, October 9. The final day will include the obstacle- cones on Sunday morning, October 10, followed by the prize-giving and closing cere- monies.
