Its streaming platform, H&amp;C+, offers members over 500 days of live sports coverage every year as well as training content featuring many top riders.

Overall, H&amp;C reaches over 1.5m people every month, helping raise the profile of the sport, the riders, and some of the most prominent equestrian influencers, many of whom got their first breakthrough appearing in H&amp;C shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ridely (tagline \u2013 \u201cYour digital training partner\u201d) is the number one app for equestrians looking to improve their riding (all of them!). Ridely specialises in creating premium quality, bitesize training clips allowing members instant access to world class knowledge across multiple disciplines.

The series will introduce Ridely talent to a broader audience and let viewers know they can now sign up for the H&amp;C+ and Ridely Pro bundle.
