Olympic disappointment

[Count Oggy]

Like many others I expected Nicola Wilson to be a certain for selection. I was lucky enough to get tickets for the xc day and will miss watching Opposition Buzz ping around the course. He is an exceptional horse and I truly expected to see him there. I know the selectors had their reasons, but what a shame for us and Nicola.

Lucky you. Now you WILL get to see Nicola and Buzz pinging around the cross country!

Yes, just heard that Nicola and Buzz are now in the team 'proper'

Meant to add that obviously it's sad for Piggy. Main thing though is that we have a strong team for the Eventing. Fingers crossed that the horses stay sound etc. (Same goes for the other Equestrian teams, of course).

Good Luck, Team GB!

Any news on Mary King? She seems to have been very low profile recently but love following her

Now I feel awful. So sad for Piggy. How disappointing for her to be so close then miss out.

It must be awful for piggy to have this massive up and then huge down but Im sure she will be back. I must admit when I read the article I felt really sorry for Piggy but then really happy for Nicola as opposition buzz is such a great exciting horse to watch...hope they do well.
