Mike Tucker was born into a life of farming and horses. His passion
and hard work enabled him to progress from international groom to
successful international event rider, top level Eventing official
and television commentator. The pinnacle of Mike's career as a
commentator was covering Nick Skelton's Gold Medal at the Rio
Olympics in 2016 for the BBC. In `The Man Behind the Mike' we learn
about Mike's family history and the connection with the Badminton
Estate where his grandfather farmed; The Beaufort Pony Club, a huge
influence in his life with many top level riders being members; a
visit to Australia, staying with the Roycroft family, which proved
to be a pivotal moment in his efforts to become a successful event
rider; and about Mike's second place at Badminton, which laid the
foundations of his credibility as a rider and commentator. The
`voice behind the microphone' had the experience and knowledge to
commentate with authority and to command respect from the listening
public at venues of not just horse trials but also show jumping,
dressage, and shows in general. The wealth of experience and
lifetime involvement in the world of equestrian sport has enabled
him to travel all over the world meeting many different people and
sharing his expertise. We are told many funny, revealing,
fascinating and sometimes sad anecdotes of his experiences of the
successes and failures along the way and we are given a true
insight into the real stories behind the headlines, and `The Man
Behind the Mike'.
