Team HorseHage Riders Selected For Beijing.12th May 2008 The British Olympic Association has announced their selected event riders to form Team GB for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The five squad members will include two Devon-based riders, Mary King and Lucy Wiegersma, who are both sponsored by HorseHage. Along with William Fox-Pitt, Zara Phillips and Sharon Hunt, they will be heading out to the Games in Beijing in early August.
Mary has two potential horses – Imperial Cavalier and Call Again Cavalier, both owned by Mr and Mrs Eddie Davies and Miss Janette Chinn, and Lucy will be riding Mr Mark Lean’s Shabraak.
It will be Mary’s fifth Olympic Games and Lucy’s first, and both riders were thrilled to have been chosen.
Said Chris Tar of HorseHage: “To have two Team HorseHage riders representing our country at Beijing is very exciting. We wish them all the very best and we look forward to seeing them flying the flag for Great Britain, as well as Devon!” For further information and advice on feeding contact the HorseHage Helpline on 01803 527257
