Jill Terceira hopes to continue her consistent season as she sets her sights on reaching the finals of the individual showjumping event at London 2012.Terceira will be striving to improve on her performance in Beijing four years ago when she was eliminated at the second qualifying stage.Following a strong performance in the first qualifying, it all went horribly wrong for the Bermudian who was forced to withdraw midway through the round as her stallion, Chaka III, refused for a second time.This time around Terceira will be riding her mount Bernadien van Westuur, whose impressive form this year has given her hope of reaching the final round.“My season has been very consistent and Bernadien van Westuur has placed in 70 percent of her Grand Prix events this outdoor season,” said the Holland-based jumper.“I'm confident having competed in Beijing but I also know this is sport and anything can happen at any given moment, although my goal is to qualify for the final.”Having met the standard on both her horses, Bernadien van Westuur and Lakvels, Terceira faced a tough decision on which to ride in London.Although Lakvels' continued improvement has pleased Terceira, she felt her best chances of success would be on Bernadien van Westuur, who she rode at last year's Pan Am Games to qualify for the Olympics.“Lakvels has continued to progress in the Grand Prix events and qualified for the Olympic Games at a competition in Belgium in early June,” said Terceira, who has invited junior Bermuda equestrian talent, Tyler Lopes, to train at her base in Holland this summer.“I had to decide (which horse to ride) by the Olympic Definite Entries deadline of July 9, and I decided to ride Bernadien van Westuur.”Despite contrasting reports, Terceira was the only Bermuda rider eligible to compete in London as Patrick Nisbett failed to meet the qualifying mark before the deadline.“I'm thrilled to have been chosen to represent Bermuda at the Olympic Games in London,” she said. “As I was the only qualified rider I could not be overlooked.”Mike Cherry, president of the Bermuda Equestrian Federation, is confident Terceira will make the Island proud in London.“Jill is capable of performing very well, she's had some good results, she's got a good horse and we're expecting her to produce,” he said.“(The Olympics) is the pinnacle for the sport. Jill's in the individual showjumping and without other riders to support her it will be difficult. Patrick didn't reach the qualifying mark in time but we had no problems with Jill as she has been performing very well and was a good choice.”There are sure to be plenty of eyes on the stands at Greenwich Park, where the Olympic equestrian disciplines of eventing, dressage and showjumping are being held.Equestrian at the London Games also will have a royal feel with Zara Phillips competing for Britain's eventing team, a difficult discipline that tests dressage, cross-country and showjumping ability; an equestrian decathlon.She made her Games debut yesterday morning, earning a respectable score in the eventing dressage competition despite a slight mistake.Phillips is the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, and her parents were British Olympians in equestrian. Her mother, Princess Anne, competed in Montreal. Her father, Mark Phillips, is a two-time Olympian and the coach of the US eventing team.Another name to watch is showjumper Ian Millar of Canada, who is poised to make his Olympic record 10th appearance in the Games. He won his first medal in 2008, a team silver.But Terceira finished ahead of Millar at last year's Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.Terceira will be competing in the individual jumping qualifiers on Saturday, August 4. The final round is on Wednesday, August 8.
