Equestrian legend Blyth Tait is to come out of retirement as he targets the 2012 London Olympics.

Tait, 49, retired from competition after the 2004 Olympics at Athens.

He announced today he was returning to action and hoped to improve on his personal haul of four Olympic medals from four Games, including gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the individual three-day event.
