Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.

In the Olympics some sports involve riding horses.

These are called equestrian sports.

One of the equestrian sports at the Olympics is eventing.

Eventing involves three parts; dressage, cross country and showjumping.

Alex Hua Tian is hoping to compete in the London 2012 Olympics for China.

Well let's hear from Alex.

Listen for the word 'vital' and the phrase 'get on well'.

We've all got to work together as a team, it's not just me and the horse. Everyone has a vital role and everyone's relationship is vital. Everyone has to get on well together, everyone has to work together towards the same goal.
