Lexington, KY – February 1, 2023 – Horse & Country (H&C), the leading international equestrian sports network, has partnered with Nilforushan Equisport Events
(NEE), to showcase the inaugural Seaside Equestrian Tour at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California. H&C is delivering free livestream coverage, produced by Ride On Video, from the newly renovated Del Mar Arena every competition day from February 1 to March 12, 2023, to equestrian fans worldwide. Viewers can catch the action on any H&C+ livestreaming platform and watch on demand for free on H&C+.
The new Seaside Equestrian Tour promises to extend NEE’s innovative mission to enhance the West Coast show circuit and broaden the appeal of show jumping through a combination of great sport, exceptional facilities, entertaining events, and cost-friendly initiatives. The centerpiece throughout the six weeks of the Seaside Equestrian Tour is the Del Mar Arena, which will feature all levels of jumper and equitation competition from child, adult, and amateur classes to national grands prix. H&C’s coverage of grand prix and grand prix welcome classes will include expert commentary. In addition, U.S. television viewers can catch Horse & Country’s coverage of the March 4 grand prix on Vizio, Sports.TV and Local Now.
“We are thrilled to continue expanding the U.S.-based show jumping offerings in our livestream schedule with this new Tour,” said H&C Director of Content Jonathan Rippon. “We look forward to covering what is sure to become a must-see destination on the West Coast circuit.”
“Like other competitions we manage, the Seaside Equestrian Tour will be an elevated showing experience, and we can’t wait to share that worldwide,” expressed NEE Co-owner and Co-manager Ali Nilforushan. “Our exhibitors and spectators expect only the best, so partnering with the team at H&C, who also value that standard of excellence in their diverse lineup of programming, simply made sense.”
