Meet Team GB's horses - eventing

Tankers Town - Sharon Hunt
Irish bred 16.1hh Chestnut gelding, 14 years old
Owned by Mr and Mrs Terry Hunt

Sharon tells us he was originally called Tankards Town but his nickname is Jasper.

Like Daisy Dick and her horse, Sharon has ridden Jasper for 10 years. Their best international result is ninth at the World Equestrian Games in 2006.

Sharon describes him as cheeky and intelligent, but grumpy in the stable, with a tendency to nip.

Jasper loves hobnobs and polos.
