After a four-month delay due to lockdown, the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships will go ahead between 17th and 23rd August at Hartpury College. Whilst the event may be taking place behind closed doors, due to COVID restrictions, dressage fans won’t miss a minute of the action as H&C will be streaming LIVE from both arenas across all seven days of competition. And there’s more good news; the entire Championships, and the Petplan Equine Area Festival Championships, will be completely free to view exclusively on H&C’s streaming service, H&C+.
Commenting on the latest agreement with British Dressage, Jonathan Rippon, Director of Content for H&C, said, “Lockdown may have put our live streaming plans on hold for a while but, as the calendar comes back to life, we’ll be bringing more and more live events to the passionate audience for horse sport. We’re delighted to be able to offer the Winter Championships free to view, not least because, as H&C+ is a global service, it’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the best of British dressage to a worldwide audience.”
British Dressage Chief Executive, Jason Brautigam added, “After losing three months of competition we’re delighted to partner with H&C to bring the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships to the widest possible audience. While many of our members will be disappointed that they are unable to attend on site, the fact this is free to view will ensure that everyone can still enjoy the return of national competition. We know there’s a real appetite for more live coverage of our sport and we’re looking forward to announcing other exciting projects and new initiatives with H&C in the near future.”
For H&C+ members, all of the action from each day of competition will be available to watch on-demand the following day. So if you’re not able to watch live, or you want to re-watch your own or a friend’s test, H&C+ membership is just £5.99 a month, with no contract required.
