Meet Team GB's horses - dressage
Jane Gregory

Lucky Star - Jane Gregory
16.2hh Danish Bred, bay gelding, 16 years old
Owned by Greenlands Aram Gregory

Jane and "Lusty" have the longest GB horse-rider relationship - 12 years. "He's a very strong character and loves being the centre of attention," she says.

Jane loves his "amazing face, with particularly beautiful eyes," but adds: "He is a bit funny to get on, and if you do the girth up too tightly, he bucks."

Lusty is also cheeky. "Sometimes he refuses to be caught in the stable, which is his favourite game with a new groom," says Jane, going into her second Olympics.
