Scott Brash unable to be selected for Rio

http://www.scottish-rider.co.uk/2016/sc ... d-for-rio/

We greatly regret that show jumper Scott Brash is unable to be selected to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Scott's top two Olympic hopefuls Hello Sanctos (owned by Lady Kirkham and Lord and Lady Harris) and Hello M'Lady (owned by Lady Kirkham and Lady Harris) picked up minor injuries at the start of the season and are still not back into full competition work and therefore will be unable to reach full fitness in time for Rio.

http://www.equestrianteamgbr.co.uk/news ... -rio-2016/

Allercombe Ellie, owned by Susan Holroyd and Frances Carter and ridden by Izzy Taylor, has unfortunately incurred a slight injury in training that will prevent the combination from competing as part of the eventing team at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

The combination will be replaced by the first reserve, Pippa Funnell MBE (47, from Surrey) with the late Carol Toliver’s Billy The Biz, who will represent Team GB alongside William Fox-Pitt (Chilli Morning), Kitty King (Ceylor L A N) and Gemma Tattersall (Quicklook V).

Kristina Cook (45, from West Sussex) with Elisabeth Murdoch and Keith Tyson’s Billy The Red have been called up to the squad and will now head to Rio as the travelling reserves.
