Since the Aussies were overrunning the Charlotte and Valegro thread...

London 2012 - Silver medallist Rose ruled out of second Olympic Games

Shane Rose is out

I have read on the EA website & Fb page that Rozzie was elected as reserve because in the best interest of team dynamics, how ridiculous, should we not have the most talented riders at the olympics! Not the ones who have the most money or the ones who are there because they will not cause any tension between team mates.

I do think that Rozzie is great, otherwise she wouldn't have been selected but I do beleive that it is so wrong that Haley has missed out.

I also saw this morning that Shane Rose is out due to an injury to Taurus, how devastating for him.

Terrible for Shane, but at least it was fair and clear, and he was given as much chance as possible to get the horse sound for competition. Megan is a wonderful rider and an Olympic veteran - and South Aussie so she'll do us proud :P

I saw Megan at Sydney last year, listened to some of her teaching classes to. She looked great and I loved the rainbow!
