Does anyone know when they actually announce the selected few? I'm dying to know!
So who would you put in the Olympic Team?

Yep I agree with Lifes_Lemons. Although I would have Polly Stockton as first reserve.

Also agree with life's lemons but Polly would be 2nd reserve.
Zara does need to do somrthing special with Toytown (and WFP and Parkmore Ed) in the next couple of months though IMO.

I think Mary King should definately be in it in some shape or form as she has been on great form lately and been very consisitent!
Also William Fox-Pitt either on Parkmore Ed (I luv this horse) or Tamarillo as i don't think the stop at badminton will spoil their changes, PE may be a better safer chance though
Zara really should be on the team because on her relationship with toytown and her form with him
Sharon Hunt and Tanker Town as seem to be consistent in all phases and good result at badders
I think Olllie or Lucy may take last place as flint curtis is just brill (dressage can be a bit inconsistent) - Lucy may of had a good result at badders but horse is very inconsistent
other possibilities
Georgie Davies - definately somebody with a change
Daisy Dick - Hope street - Spring along may be a good XC horse (badders was definately rider error) but dressage isn't
Ruth Edge - Not seen much of her lately
Tina Cook - Miner's Frolic is a fantastic horse who had many wins last season so in with a chance
honestly i think that even though the olympics is a 3* Pippa F fluffed her change at badders - she could at least of continued to prove that he can do it ??

as xlouloux said i felt a bit sad for pippa as she wiped out her chances of selection. I know she may have been off the scene for a yr or 2 but her form with ensign wasn't bad until her fall at badders. think she was 3rd at pau last season which is a 4*. even though mary and william both had mistakes i'm sure they will both be on the team as they have other horses whereas poor pippa's fall was rather costly to her
pippa always does a brilliant test and i love how well her horses look!!
