Alex Hua Tian burst onto the international eventing scene four years ago when he was the youngest ever Olympic Equestrian, and the sole Chinese Equestrian at the Beijing Olympics. Garnering heaps of media, and mass adulation not only in China where he ranks alongside the Beatles for superstardom status, but also around the world. He is well deserving of all the adulation and handles it with remarkable aplomb. Now, as he prepares for the London 2012 Olympics, four years older and wiser, but still incredibly popular, he finds himself in a completely different situation. I was very grateful that he managed to squeeze some time into his busy schedule at Bramham to talk to Eventing Nation about his horses, his life and his hopes for the future.
Many, many thanks to Alex for his time, and wishing him the very best of luck for the future; we look forward to following him closely and catching up again soon. Go Eventing!
