Scott Smith, the 28-year-old international showjumper from Barmby Moor, has gained a place in the long list of riders for the Great Britain team to compete at the European Championships in Germany next month.
Smith has been selected to ride his main horse, Cabri d'Elle, with whom he is pictured.
He is one of 11 riders on the list, which includes top-flight stars John and Michael Whitaker and Nick Skelton. Northallerton's Paul Barker, with his horse Blue Chip Quinton, is also on the list, which will be cut to a final team of five nearer the event's date.
The championships are being held at Donaueschingen, near the German broder with Switzerland, from August 20-24.
