Yard Talk takes viewers behind-the-scenes at top riders’ yards, to meet their teams and their horses, and find out what life is really like for these professional competitors and Olympic and Paralympic champions. Participants already confirmed for the series include Tina Cook (three-day eventing), Trevor Breen (showjumping), Natasha Baker (para-equestrian dressage) and Louise Bell (showing).
In addition to showing viewers around their yards, the riders featured in Yard Talk offer a unique Masterclass on their equestrian specialisation.
In the first episode of the series, London 2012 team silver medallist – Tina Cook – shares her tips for retraining racehorses as eventers, and shows us what to do when taking a young horse to the gallops.
Horse & Country TV will bring viewers a new episode of Yard Talk and H&C Masterclass each month throughout 2013. Riders to be featured in future episodes, including some international superstars from The Netherlands, will be announced shortly.
