HORSE TALK TV
Tune in for a look at the horse world from Down Under when "Horse Talk TV," an entertaining weekly, half-hour magazine-style program, premieres on the network this Monday, March 1.
"Horse Talk TV" will air on the network at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. While the show will debut on Monday evenings, it will also re-air on Tuesdays, and the following Sunday.
"Horse Talk TV" first launched in 2009, and it covers all the high-profile horse sports -- from dressage to reining, plus other more unusual horse-related activities, such as trick riding and liberty horses, as well as a spot of jousting. It also offers "Ask The Experts" segments, where industry experts give viewers the latest on horse health, showcase new products, and discuss alternative therapies.
Katie Hickson, who has 18 years experience in the horse industry, serves as the host of "Horse Talk TV." Combined with her team of enthusiastic reporters, the show brings you face-to-face with a wide variety of horse stories.
The show's premiere episode on HRTV will feature a look at CDI, the premier dressage event in Australia. In addition, there is a Visit to A. Troop, the oldest continuous light horse re-enactment in Australia. This initial week's "Ask The Experts" segment features Dr. John Walker, who offers the top tips for feeding your horses.
In upcoming weeks, "Horse Talk TV" episodes will include jousting at a medieval fair, the Bentley Cup, a trick horse training clinic, the International Society of Equestrian Science Conference, the Pony Club Australia National Championships, and much more.
