February 2, 2024 – Lexington, KY – Horse & Country (H&C), the leading international equestrian sports network, has once again partnered with Nilforushan Equisport Events (NEE), to showcase the Seaside Equestrian Tour at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California. H&C will deliver free livestream coverage, produced by Ride On Video, from the Del Mar Arena every competition day from February 7 to March 24, 2024, to equestrian fans worldwide. Viewers can catch the action, both live and on demand, on any H&C+ livestreaming platform for free, including online or with H&C’s mobile apps, as well as on Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire.
Following the successful inaugural year in 2023, the 2024 Seaside Equestrian Tour continues to expand 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. H&C’s coverage will spotlight the Del Mar Arena throughout the six weeks of the 2024 Seaside Equestrian Tour, and will feature all levels of jumper competition, from child, adult, and amateur classes to national grands prix. Viewers can also enjoy top equitation and hunter classes. H&C’s coverage on Saturdays will include expert commentary by Philippe Le Jeune Jr. In addition, the $100,000 Sky Partners Grand Prix on March 23 will be available for U.S. television viewers on Horse & Country’s channel through Fubo, Sports.TV, and Local Now.
“We are thrilled to continue to include Seaside Equestrian Tour on our livestream schedule after an amazing first year of operation,” said H&C Director of Content Jonathan Rippon. “We know our international audience values having this important U.S.-based show jumping offering, and we look forward to continuing to cover what is already becoming a must-see destination on the West Coast circuit.”
“We are very happy to continue our partnership with the H&C team because they value the same standard of excellence our exhibitors and spectators expect from a Nilforushan Equisport Event,” expressed NEE Co-owner and Co-manager Ali Nilforushan. “The 2023 Seaside Equestrian Tour exemplified the type of experience we aim for with all of the competitions we manage, and we are delighted to be able to share that with H&C’s expansive viewer base again in 2024.”
Beyond H&C’s extensive sports coverage, both live and on demand, H&C+ members also get access to more than 1,800 hours of equestrian programming featuring content from all disciplines, masterclasses and training series, barn tours, rider profiles, and documentaries.
