Eventing Team New Zealand for the London Olympics is being announced at a press conference right now in England. Without further ado:
Andrew Nicholson and Nereo
Mark Todd and NZB Campino
Caroline Powell and Lenamore
Jonathan Paget and Clifton Promise
Jonelle Richards and Flintstar
Reserve: Lucy Jackson
The Kiwis, coached by Erik Duvander, flexed their muscle at Barbury last weekend with Andrew Nicholson taking the top two spots. Clark Johnstone unfortunately had to withdraw from the selection process on Monday after an injury to his horse Orient Express at Barbury. The New Zealand team combines a great mix of veteran talent with young desire and I can’t wait to watch them compete in London. I also want to give a special thanks to Jacky Green for helping us to coordinate the team announcement. Go New Zealand!
