Horse & Country TV celebrates Team GB’s success with a Rudall’s Round-Up Olympic Special
Thursday 25 August 2016
Following on from the Rio Olympics, H&C’s Jenny Rudall presents a special edition of the channel’s flagship magazine show.
‘Rudall’s Round-Up: The Homecoming’ features extended interviews with many of the key players reliving the experience and underlining the impact Team GB’s success has had both on the equestrian world and across the country as a whole.
The programme features an emotional interview with Olympic gold medallist Nick Skelton at the headquarters of British Showjumping on his return from Rio. Nick talks about his confidence in Big Star going into the arena and how amazed he’s been at the response both back home and from his fellow riders. Other contributors include Performance Manager for Jumping Di Lampard, legendary showjumper David Broome CBE, and recently appointed CEO of the British Equestrian Federation Clare Salmon, who talks about witnessing the dressage team’s silver medal winning performance and Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro bringing home gold.
And Great Britain’s gold medal success isn’t just confined to the Olympics. Jenny also interviews Jack Whitaker together with his famous father Michael, after Jack won Individual Gold in the Pony European Championships showing that the future’s bright for horse sport.
‘Rudall’s Round-Up: The Homecoming’ premieres on Friday 26th August at 8pm on H&C TV, Sky Channel 253 and online via H&C Play. For further repeat showings, please check horseandcountry.tv for listings.
