## End notes

* ^ Only one eligible team competed at the World Equestrian Games. This meant the second team slot was reallocated to the Central American and Caribbean Games, as no there were no other teams that contested the South American Games. This meant four team slots (as opposed to three) were available at those games.
* ^ Only one eligible athlete (from Colombia) competed at the World Equestrian Games. This meant the two remaining individual slots were reallocated, to the Central American and Caribbean Games. This meant five individual slots (as opposed to three) were available at those games. Colombia later won a team spot at the Central American and Caribbean Games, meaning the a sixth individual quota was available at the said games.
* ^ El Salvador qualified four athletes individually, and will be allowed to enter a composite eventing team as well. However it rejected two quotas, and this cannot enter in the team competition.
* ^ Only three individual spots were eligible at the South American games. The fourth spot was transferred to the world rankings.
