Who Heads to Aachen? The Team Picks!

Forget the selectors. We've picked the teams.

Nicole is joined by Sam Watson, Annie Bishop and Spike the Vet to take on one of the toughest jobs in eventing, selecting the combinations they'd send to Aachen. There are easy picks. Then there are the horses keeping everyone awake at night.

Who has done enough this season? Does five-star form still carry the most weight? Which riders are impossible to leave at home? And which nation has the strongest hand heading into the World Championships?

Expect plenty of debate, a few disagreements and some very difficult decisions as the panel works through the leading contenders from Great Britain, Ireland, the USA, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.

Then, with the teams almost settled, everyone puts their reputation on the line with their first World Championship medal predictions.
