WILTSHIRE riders feature prominently in the long list submitted by the British Equestrian Federation for this summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio.

In eventing, Lower Stanton St Quintin's Kitty King is named with her horse Ceylor LAN, while Tom McEwen and Holly Woodhead, who are based at Badgerstown near Swindon, are also included with Toledo De Kerser and DHI Lupison respectively.

Laura Collett, who is based at Lambourn on the Wiltshire/Berkshire border has Grand Manoeuvre and Pamero 4 on the long list.

In jumping, Tockenham youngster Jessica Mendoza, who also has a base in Holland, is included on the long list with Spirit T

Five-time Paralympic gold medallist Anne Dunham, from Worton, and horse Lucas Normark are included on the para-dressage long list.

In dressage, Anna Ross, from Cholderton near Tidworth, is on the dressage long list with Die Callas.

Zara Tindall's hopes of competing at this summer's Games are over.

Former world eventing champion Tindall helped the Great Britain team win a silver medal at London 2012.

But she does not feature among the 10-rider list of British nominated entries published by the sport's world governing body, the Federation Equestre Internationale.

Tindall, The Queen's granddaughter, achieved the Rio qualifying criteria aboard her London Olympics ride High Kingdom when the horse returned to four-star action at last month's Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials following a lengthy injury lay-off.

But she has now missed out - Yorkshireman Oliver Townend is another notable absentee - with only nominated riders able to be put forward to the British Olympic Association for final selection.

The British contingent, though, does include William Fox-Pitt and his 2015 Badminton winner Chilli Morning.

Fox-Pitt was hospitalised following a serious cross-country fall at the World Young Horse Championships in France last October that left him suffering from head trauma. He returned to competitive action earlier this season.

Triple Olympic medallist Tina Cook is also on the British eventing list, together with Pippa Funnell, Gemma Tattersall, Izzy Taylor, Nicola Wilson and Holly Woodhead.

The nominated British showjumping entries, meanwhile, include three of the London 2012 gold medal-winning team - Scott Brash, Nick Skelton and Ben Maher - while all of Britain's Olympic champion dressage team from four years ago reappear in Charlotte Dujardin, Carl Hester and Laura Tomlinson.

Four riders each in dressage, eventing and jumping will be named on July 5 to represent Team GB at the Games, with five for para-dressage being named on July 14
