2012 London Olympics
Rider declarations are in for the 2012 London Olympics and we are now anxiously waiting to hear if Alex and ESB Irish Fiddle get a run. OMG!!!
Olympic Preparations:
From Sarah & Alex
As you may know, 2011 is a crucial year for Alex to gain his Olympic qualification. Magenta (Maggie) and ESB Irish Fiddle (Fiddle) have been working hard with Alex over the winter to build on their successes last season. Fiddle is currently in Portugal at the moment preparing for the qualifier next week, Maggie is aimed at Fontainebleau and both are entered for Badminton.
Update from Alex
Chatsworth is one of my favourite competitions. Although it's a long drive up there, Derbyshire is absolutely stunning and Chatsworth House is by far the most beautiful and striking of all the houses we have on the circuit, in my opinion. This was Fiddle's [ESB Irish Fiddle] first three-star for exactly two years (Chatsworth 2008) and for once, I felt we might do a respectable test.

Without a competition to look forward to at the weekend, I was really hoping for a nice quiet week. Apparently not! I've had a new (sort of) arrival to the team, ESB Irish Fiddle.
Despite all of this he was a very good boy and got his half qualification atChatsworth CIC*** (pictured right), but we had pushed him too far too early and he decided he had had enough!
CONGRATULATIONS Alex Hua Tian!
Hi Alex,
Well done on representing your country at the Beijing Olympics, 2008! Even though the results weren't what you had hoped for, you still made history by being the first equestrian rider ever, to represent China at an Olympic Games.
Your committment, professionalism and sportsmanship are a credit to you. Your dedicated sponsors, family and support team gave their all and worked so hard in your preparation.
This team effort sets a standard in our sport to which many should aspire to and which will raise the bar in the future. WELL DONE!
Here's to a vision for 2012! Good luck with your studies and in the future. I shall look forward to hearing more about your journey and I am so glad that Fiddle can be part of it, it would make his parents very proud. It does me!
All the best, Vanessa x
