The Horse & Hound reports breaking news that British Team member Piggy French is out of the Olympic race, after her mount DHI Topper suffered an injury. Topper just finished third in the CIC** at Barbury. Piggy’s other Team-listed horse, Jakata, dropped out of contention a few weeks ago due to injury. Tough luck for Piggy, and we wish her horses a speedy recovery.
Piggy French and DHI Topper are replaced by Nicola Wilson and Opposition Buzz, who just finished 7th in the Barbury CIC***…meaning Great Britain still has a very formidable team.
Stay tuned.. the US team announcement is coming soon.
