London 2012 Olympic Games - British Equestrian nominated entries

 

 The British Equestrian Federation today named the equestrian athletes and horses they have submitted to the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) as the Nominated Entry List for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Only horses and athletes listed on the Nominated Entries can be put forward to the BOA for selection.

 

Nations are invited to register a set number of eligible horse and rider combinations in each of the Olympic equestrian disciplines of dressage, eventing and showjumping. From this nominated entry list athletes will be selected to compete for Team GB in the relevant discipline with the remaining combinations forming the reserve list for the team. Only horses and riders from these nominated lists may be considered to compete at the Games.

Britain has qualified the following number of riders to compete in the equestrian Olympic events:

Five eventing athletes were officially selected to Team GB on Thursday 14 June from the nominated entry list below. It has now been confirmed that selected rider Piggy French will partner Mr Wally French & Mr Michael Underwood’s DHI Topper W. Commenting on their selection Eventing Performance Manager Yogi Breisner said:

 

“ DHI Topper W may be a young horse but he has already proven himself talented and suited to Greenwich winning the London Test Event last summer and then going on to win the Blenheim CCIO3*.  Piggy is a proven Championship rider and together they make an exciting partnership for the London Olympic Games.”

 

Dressage and Showjumping athletes will be selected week commencing 2nd July.
