The British Olympic Association have confirmed the squad which they believe can challenge for medals at the Sydney Olympics.

The BOA announced the dressage and show jumping squads but will wait until Monday's British Open at Gatcombe Park to reveal which seven riders will carry British hopes.

BOA spokesman Simon Clegg said: "Recent results suggest our teams are coming in to form and so long as they travel well on the long journey to Australia there is no reason why they shouldn't be in prime condition."
