Upon the release of official results from the show at Silverwood Farm in Camp Lake, Wisconsin (May 20-21), the rider rankings were updated today for the Collecting Gaits Farm USEF National Grand Prix Championship / World Equestrian Games Selection Trials & USEF National Intermediaire I Championship Presented by Paul Miller, Inc. The championship competition will be held June 15-18, 2006, at the USET Foundation Dressage Festival of Champions in Gladstone, New Jersey.

There are only four weeks and four more qualifying events before the national championships – three events will be held in different locations across the country on the weekend of May 26-28 (Flintridge Dressage, CA; Lamplight Dressage, MN; and ESDCTA Memorial Day Dressage Show, NJ) and the final qualifier will be held June 2-4 (CDI3*/Y Raleigh and Capital Dressage Classic, NC). Only the 12 highest-ranked Grand Prix and Intermediaire I horse/rider combinations from the qualifying period (July 8, 2005 through June 4, 2006) will be invited to compete in their respective championships.

Following are the current Grand Prix and Intermediaire I Rankings as of May 26. Drop scores are not in place until the last qualifying competition, which is the Raleigh CDI 3*, June 2-4, 2006.
