He will be competing in this summer with In Style, a 13-year-old gelding, and Redefin, a promising 10-year-old gray. "It would have been 10 if not for the boycott of Moscow in 1980," said Millar of his Olympic attendance streak. "It's a tremendous honor to represent Canada."Lamaze will ride Hickstead, a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion that some say is the best horse in the world competing in Hong Kong this summer.

Henselwood, the only woman on the team, will ride Special Ed, a 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding, while Cone will take Ole to Hong Kong.In addition to jumping, Canada will participate in the dressage and eventing competitions.
