Tough to choose ?

Very! You could make several competitive Olympic teams out of that list. That said, if I were a selector the British team would be (in order of the list):

• Ros and Allstar B
• Tom and Toledo de Kerser
• Oliver and Ballaghmor Class

I would send Laura and London 52 as the traveling reserve.

My friend made a good point that Allstar B is huge and probably not suited for Tokyo.

I would choose:

Ollie
Piggy
Tom

Laura C as reserve.

[Equibrit]

• Laura Collett with Karen Bartlett, Keith Scott’s and her own London 52 (groom: Matilda Sayburn-Hughes)
• Tom McEwen with Fred and Penny Barker, Jane Inns and his mother Ali’s Toledo De Kerser (groom: Francesca Gorni)
• Oliver Townend with Karyn Schuter, Angela Hislop and Val Ryan’s Ballaghmor Class (groom: Jess McKie)

The alternate is:

• Piggy March with John and Chloe Perry and Alison Swinburn’s Brookfield Inocent (groom: Amy Phillips)

I am surprised that Roz Canter didn’t make the team. After all, she is the current world champion. But they suffer an embarrassment of riches over there, don’t they?

[Jealoushe]

I think her horse is too big and heavy for Tokyo, at least that’s the guess.

I’m loving this team, exact team I would have picked!

[Equibrit]

If I was Ros Canter I’d rather stay home (younger horses not ready) and then do the Bicton 5*

See the British Olympic eventing team horses enjoying their final outing...

[Jealoushe]

Albie certainly will be in contention for that 5*.
