Equestrian: Tait picks Ready Teddy for Athens

8.50am

The Olympic Gold equestrian combination of Blyth Tait and Ready Teddy will team up again for another campaign in Athens.

Tait, a member of the eventing team, confirmed today he will take Ready Teddy to Greece - the same horse he won gold with in the individual three-day event at the Atlanta Games in 1996.

Besides Tait, the New Zealand eventing team includes Andrew Nicholson, Dan Jocelyn, Heelan Tompkins and Matthew Grayling.

Tait and Ready Teddy qualified for the Olympics in June by winning the three-star CCI Punchestown Horse Trials in Ireland.
