HRTV PRESENTS "HORSE TALK TV" AS PART OF EQUESTRIAN PROGRAMMING ON MONDAY MARCH 1
Arcadia, CA, Feb. 24, 2010 -- HRTV's (R) commitment to top-notch Equestrian programming expands to 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.
"The premiere of 'Horse Talk TV' further exemplifies HRTV's firm commitment to provide high-quality, entertaining Equestrian programming from across the world," said Jim Bates, HRTV's executive vice president and general manager. "This relatively new, all-encompassing programming from Down Under, has a wide-range of elements that covers the world scene from many interesting angles."
"I am thrilled to bring an Australian perspective to the horse-loving nation of the US," said Hickson. "Horse lovers around the world will enjoy the fun and informative series 'HorseTalk TV' from Down Under."
HRTV, which carries horseracing from many of the sport's top venues, will add a wide-variety of Equestrian programming, highlighting both major international and US-based competitions, as well as documentaries and
instructional shows, in the months ahead. New Equestrian programming will debut on Monday evenings, both in the morning and primetime on Tuesdays, and on Sunday mornings.
