A member of the Royal family will participate in the Beijing Olympics this summer. As the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, Zara Phillips was among five riders named to the British Olympic equestrian team.
The 26-year old, who is the daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, was voted 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Along with her horse Toytown, Phillips won the individual gold in the three-day eventing competition at the World Equestrian Games last year, making her the reigning Eventing World Champion.
“I am lucky in that Toytown has been to championship events before, so he knows aboutbig occasions and has been consistent, but an Olympic Games really is special,” she said.
