Everyone's probably seen this already or something, but oh well :p:D Pleased to see that Zara is getting to the Olympics at last!
 
I think the published list still has to be ratified by the British Olympic Association, which should be later this week.

Don't knock the "Zara-effect". She's done more to get Eventing the high profile it currently has than any number of gold medals won by teams of which she has not been part. We are lucky to have her in "our" sport.

My initial view the other day was "Where's Nicola Wilson and Buzz?" but having read many of the posts of the various other threads about this, I do rather come to the view that perhaps Greenwich is not the course for him and he's better suited to open galloping tracks where his particular talents can be displayed more effectively.

I shall cheer her on at Burghley :D
 
Daffodil - didn't mean for my 'Zara-effect' comment to be read in any way other than positively. She's perfectly placed to spearhead improved levels of publicity in our fantastic sport.
