The Buzz

The British Broadcasting Corp. is planning television coverage of the Alltech FEI European Championships in August at Windsor Castle.

For American riders who can’t travel to England this summer, the BBC images could be their best look at the competition before they face many of the same riders in the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games at the Kentucky Horse Park in 2010.

It’s not clear if the BBC coverage of Windsor will be shown in the United States, however.

The international governing body for equestrian sports, the Fédération Equestre Internationale, or FEI, is “sorting out the international broadcasting rights, and the coverage available to U.S. viewers is unknown at this time,” says Susanna Elliott, Alltech’s equestrian events spokeswoman.

“However, quite a bit of video will be available on (the Internet at) www.alltechwindsoreuropeans.com,” she said.

Riders with friends in England have another option: Get them to tape it for you.
