It's giddy-up Tim and Jonelle Price

The husband and wife team have been selected, as expected, to represent New Zealand in eventing at the Tokyo Olympics - their second competing together.

Tim will mount 11-year-old Vitali who likes rolling in the mud and dislikes having it brushed off according to their website.

Jonelle will take the reins on 13-year-old Grovine de Reve, described as a cheeky brat who dislikes dragons in the corner of the arena.

The couple, who sit at second and seventh respectively in the rankings, are joined by Games debutant Jesse Campbell.

Bundy Philpott is the travelling reserve.
