Horsetails
Horsetails is
the first and only programme on British television that
offers an informed, varied and entertaining look at
everything related to the horse and it’s welfare: from
breeding, breaking and training; racing and other
equestrian sports; riding for the disabled; equine
psychology and health.
Presented by
champion jockey Alice Plunkett and Simon Golding, the
brand-new magazine show features a broad mix of items
taken from the British equestrian scene. Throughout the
series, Horsetails follows the progress of the British
Olympic Eventing team. Alice joins them in Athens for
their final preparations before the games, as well as
special behind-the-scenes reports. The series also
follows the progress of Simon as he learns to ride –
from his very first lesson, through all aspects of his
training, to him finally competing in a race.
Alice learns
to joust at the UK’s Jousting Academy; catches up with
Anthony Stewart Head, whose wife trains horses; and
joins Zara Phillips for a ride as she talks candidly
about her love for horses and her parents’ attitude to
her competing. Plus, there are interviews with other
famous horse lovers including Jodie Kidd who talks about
her passion for Polo, and Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood.
With the horse
industry worth £2.5bn to the UK economy, and over 2.4m
people horse riding regularly in this country,
Horsetails brings this fascinating world to life. |

Jousting lessons
were the theme of the day at the Warwick International School of Riding
when a television crew arrived to film a documentary.
Knights of Middle England has set up day courses in jousting as an
alternative to more typical days out for any groups.
The
student of the day was Alice Plunkett, television racing pundit and wife
of renowned cross-country event rider William Fox-Pitt.
She tried her hand at jousting as part of a documentary series on all
things equestrian, Horsetails which starts in October this year and will
be shown on Animal Planet.
