Chez Philip talk show launches at Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014

The FEI has launched its daily talk show, Chez Philip, direct from the planet’s most international equestrian event, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy, France.

Phil Ghazala, the show’s presenter, award-winning commentator and face of the FEI’s official digital video platform FEI TV, is interviewing athletes, celebrities, coaches, course designers and medal winners in the Chez Philip studio for the next two weeks in Normandy, taking viewers behind the fascinating scenes of the Games.

The show’s roving reporter Sienna Myson-Davies, team and individual gold medallist at the FEI European Junior Eventing Championships 2008, will front the show’s daily social media news update, and be capturing all the excitement in Normandy from each of the six official competition venues, interviewing riders and fans.

The Chez Philip talk show, which will also treat viewers to Normandy competition previews and reviews, and flashbacks to golden moments of past Games, will be available free on FEI TV, on FEI YouTube, and by video on demand on 40 media sites in over 20 countries, including:
