Only horses and athletes on this list can be put forward to the British Olympic Association for selection. The entries are:

Hannah Biggs with her own Weltzin

Nikki Crisp with her own Pasoa

Carl Hester with Sasha Stewart’s and his own Uthopia

Emma Hindle with the Brookhouse Stud Ltd’s Diamond Hit

Gareth Hughes with Jane Brewin’s DV Stenkjers Nadonna

From this list of 12 riders, only four will be selected to compete for Team GB. This will be announced the week commencing 2 July and the remaining combinations will form the team’s reserve list.

Strong combinations

Gareth Hughes told Horse & Country that it feels really great to be nominated. “I feel really proud,” he said. “I’ve only been riding Jane’s mare for 12 months, so to come through this early in her career is great.

“I know I won’t make the final four as there are three extremely strong combinations on the list, and then a couple behind that are very established. But it’s really nice to be in mix. It’s what you work for and it’s a great stepping stone for me.”
