London 2012 Olympics: Lucy Wiegersma and Nicola Wilson 'gutted' to miss out on eventing team place Wilson was widely assumed to be a shoo-in, having been pathfinder at the past three international championships with Opposition Buzz, winning two gold and one bronze team medal. "Obviously I'm gutted, devastated, because we were so delighted with our dressage at Bramham but the two show jumps down scuppered our chances," she said. The pathfinder often forfeits his own individual chance, taking no risks across country in order to return intelligence to team-mates. Opposition Buzz's moderate dressage tended to rule him out of top individual places but Wilson has worked hard to improve it. At Bramham he was just 0.6 penalties adrift of Zara Phillips and High Kingdom. He has done a 46 at three-star and a 44 at Badminton. But that's the way it is. We can't turn back the clock. He is still a fantastic horse and made many dreams come true," Wilson added. The selectors have done a superb job in the past and made this decision based on experience and the information they have. Weigersma has been team reserve six times in the past seven years, getting a run solely at the 2009 European championships and described her probable reserve status yet again as "beyond a joke." She had three horses in contention but favoured Simon Porloe who won a three-day event in Portugal early in February. I am utterly frustrated. The spring season in Britain was chaotic with all the cancellations and we haven't had the opportunity to show our mettle. He ran well enough at Bramham. The conditions were the same for everyone but he is a top-of-the-ground horse who got bogged down mud and didn't quite produce a dazzling dressage result when it really mattered. I still wouldn't swap him for any other horse in the world and he will be a gold medal winning horse in the future - if he ever gets the chance to go!
