It's the top 25 BUT only 3 from each country can go through - so if 2 countries had 4 in top 25, then whoever was 26 and 27 would go through (assuming not from a country with 3 already through). It's basically a qualification passes down the line situation, with only team scores to count if that makes sense.

Just lifted this from the competition format page "The first jumping test decides the placings in the Team event; after this has been completed, a second jumping test determines the winners of the Individual competition....Teams can consist of up to five athlete/horse combinations, but only the best three results will count towards the team’s score....

After the first jumping test, the best 25 riders (as well as any who are tied for 25th place) go through to the second jumping test. " To me this looks as though it is the top 25 riders who will go through, not the top three in each time - I read it as the top three scores in each team only count towards the team final - anyone else agree??

I think that no country is allowed to have more than three riders in the individual final. So if Britain had 4 riders in the top 25 only three could compete.
