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.
