Sun, 01 July 2012 2:35PM

Scott Brash will make his Olympic debut at this summer's games in London.

The 26-year-old has been named in Team GB's showjumping squad.

Brash is in a four man party alongside 54-year-old Nick Skelton, Ben Maher and Peter Charles.

The Scotsman will ride Hello Sanctos, a horse born in Belgium and stabled in the US and Germany.

Tim Stockdale, who made his Olympic debut in Beijing in 2008 has failed to recover from a broken neck, sustained last year.

Britain's last showjumping medal came in 1984.
