The Welsh rider will be reporting online and interviewing all the stars from the Hickstead venue.

“I’m really looking forward to working with the H&C team at Hickstead and I can’t wait to get in on the action,” said Rhianydd.

New followers

The former polocrosse player, who is now a video blogger for the website, has already generated a positive following on social media sites.

As part of the prize from the Blue Chip All Star Academy, she will also get to guest present Rudall’s Round-Up, from the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, alongside presenter Jenny Rudall.

In addition to this, Rhi received a year’s sponsorship from the show’s title sponsors Blue Chip Feed.
