Following on from equestrian success at the Athens Olympics, BBC's coverage of the Badminton Horse Trials will be interactive this year for the first time.

It is available to all digital viewers who can access it by pressing the red button on their remote control.

On Saturday 7 May, the Cross Country day will be transmitted live on interactive.

Coverage will begin just before noon, showing the whole event from the first horse to the finish of the last horse.

Sunday Grandstand on Sunday 8 May will have highlights of the first two phases of competition, followed by the live conclusion of the showjumping, where the winner will be decided. Coverage starts from 2.00pm on BBC TWO.

Commentary will come from the familiar voices of Michael Tucker and Lorna Clarke.
