British Olympic eventing team for Paris 2024 revealed: who’s off to Versailles?

    • The British Olympic eventing team for Paris 2024 has been revealed – although at this stage it is four riders named without confirming who will be competing and who will take the role of alternate.

    As expected, the effort will be headed up by last year’s Badminton Horse Trials winners and European champions Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo. Ros was the alternate rider for the British team at the Tokyo Games, but this will be her debut actually riding at an Olympics.

    She is joined by one complete pair who are veterans of that Tokyo gold medal-winning effort in Laura Collett and London 52, plus Tom McEwen, who rode Toledo De Kerser to team gold and individual silver in Tokyo and pilots double Kentucky Three-Day Event runner-up JL Dublin this time. The four-strong squad is completed by Olympic debutante Yasmin Ingham with her 2022 world champion Banzai Du Loir.
