London, UK
Team GB have announced that DHI Topper W, ridden by Member Piggy French, has incurred an injury that means he will not be fit to compete at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the Eventing competitions.
The British Olympic Association (BOA) has confirmed that Nicola Wilson (35) from Northallerton, North Yorkshire, riding Opposition Buzz owned by Mrs Rosemary Search has been selected to replace Piggy and DHI Topper W.
Commenting on her selection athlete Nicola Wilson said "It's horrific and fabulous at the same time; I just don't know what to say; I'm devastated for Piggy and wouldn't wish this on anybody, she's become a very close friend and I feel for her so much.
