Paralympian Anne Dunham is on her way to Hong Kong as she tries to win gold at her fourth consecutive games.

The 59-year-old dressage rider from Broad Hinton won gold in Atlanta, Sydney and Athens.

Dunham told BBC Radio Swindon: "I'm really excited about it and I feel quite a lot of pressure because I've done it so often before.

"The expectation is quite high from the team but I feel just as nervous as the ones going for the first time."

Dunham could compete in up to three events, but there was a recent scare when her horse, Teddy Edwards, developed an abscess on his chin. Fortunately, he has recovered in time to fly out.
