Hardly! Although I have been feeling rather spoilt lately with Horse and Country TV’s fantastic coverage of Badminton playing on a loop on HRTV, only interrupted by live Wimbledon coverage, and this morning….news of Alex Hua Tian, here on American TV, via the BBC World News.
Thanks to Alex for this photo taken outside Burghley during filming.
Alex Hua Tian, Visit Britain’s Goodwill Ambassador, will be the featured guest tonight (Thursday 23rd June, 9:30pm Eastern Time, and tomorrow Friday 24th June 2:30 am and 2:30 pm) on BBC World News’ Peschardt’s People (check your satellite or cable provider for channel listings). Former BBC Senior Foreign Correspondent, Michael Peschardt flew in from Australia to film Alex at Burghley House. Alex was interviewed and filmed explaining the course and the sport to Michael, riding his two stunning young horses, Furst Love and Wolkenderry, and having a picnic in front of the beautiful Burghley House.
Alex is one of the nicest people in a sport full of wonderful characters, and is the perfect Ambassador. He’ll be competing at the Olympic Test Event, and I can’t wait to see him, both on the small screen in my home, and hopefully picking up some medals soon. Go Alex, and Go Eventing!
