Zara Phillips, a grand-daughter of Queen Elizabeth, has been named in the British three-day eventing squad for the Beijing Olympics in August.
Phillips, 27 later this month, was world champion in 2006 and European champion in 2005. She will ride Toytown at her first Olympics where she will be part of a five-strong British squad.
"I am lucky in that Toytown has been to championship events before, so he knows about big occasions and has been consistent, but an Olympic Games really is special," Phillips said in a statement. "I am delighted for Toytown as he really deserves it."
