Equine Products UK has announced its renewed support of Team China event rider Alex Hua Tian, who leapt onto the world eventing stage with his convincing Olympic campaign last year. After his Olympic debut, Alex returned to Eton to focus on A-levels, but with exams behind him, he is now focused on a return to eventing with the talented string of horses he campaigned so successfully last season.
Equine Products UK manufactures a range of highly specified equine nutritional supplements that is a market leader around the world and the brand has a very successful track record in the UK spanning more than 25 years. The company’s Justin Ridley explains, “Alex is an incredibly talented event rider with a superb support team and we are delighted that he chooses products from our range for his international event horses.

“As part of our sponsorship, we will be offering nutritional support that recognises his horses are all individuals, hence we will provide ongoing specific advice for each of them that takes account of the demands of their training and competition schedules.
19-year-old Alex pays close attention to the health and fitness of his horses and says, “My horses are all different, with their own nutritional requirements and the joint supplement FlexiVite HA has had a noticeable impact on my Olympic horse FBW Chico.
“At 13 years old, he is no spring chicken and needs all the help he can get. Flexivite HA keeps him supple for dressage and jumping. On his last outing he scored over 70% in his three star dressage test and at Barbury Castle he cleared 1.75m in the Malvern Masters Highjump competition. Not bad for an old man!
For Justin, the sponsorship brings together Equine Products UK’s existing high profile in key export markets with its renewed focus on UK horseowners and riders. He says, “Alex is a tremendous ambassador for the Equine Products UK range and we are delighted to support his ambition to achieve further world recognition in this very demanding discipline. He will be in action at UK events for the remainder of the season and we are offering him all the help we can to maximise his success.”
Alex Hua Tian will be on the Equine Products UK stand at Gatcombe Festival of British Eventing to chat about his horses and experience at the 2008 Olympics, so if you’re planning to visit Gatcombe, make a note to check timings and don’t miss the opportunity to meet one of eventing’s most likeable personalities.
