Ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic equestrian event on Friday at the Equestrian Park in Bayikoen, the British team has made a change to the team for the Nations Cup. Scott Brash will not start and will be replaced by Holly Smith. Brash's Jefferson sprained himself during the individual final.
Richard Waygood: "In consultation with Scott, his valued owners and our team vet, we have decided that it is in the horse's best interests to withdraw from the competition as a preventative measure to avoid a more serious injury. This is obviously a disappointment for Brash but the team is still going strong for Friday's team competition and we thank Lady Harris and Lady Kirkham for their support during these Games and to the sport. Ben and Holly were always going to be on our team and it is great to have Harry join the trio at his first Games".
