The Olympic silver medallist has indicated she will not ride again until after the birth of her first child early next year.
“It is excellent news she is planning to return in time for the selection process for the World Equestrian Games,” said GB chief Yogi Breisner.
Phillips will miss the European Championships in Sweden in August.
The Queen’s granddaughter, who is married to former England rugby union captain Mike Tindall, could also feature in next year’s Badminton Horse Trials.
Breisner added: “Many riders including Zara’s mother the Princess Royal have made a successful return after having children.
“There is no reason why Zara should not be able to return right on top of her form.” – BBC Sport
