If you can’t be there in person, the best way to watch this year’s MARS Badminton Horse Trials (Wednesday 7th-Sunday 11th May) is via ClipMyHorse.TV.
The streaming provider confirmed a multi-year contract to exclusively live stream the Gloucestershire CCI5*, replacing Badminton TV.
A Badminton Season Pass, which lasts for 12 months and includes all historic TV footage of the horse trials, costs £21.99.
As well as the livestream and complete coverage of the CCI5*, including the first and last horse inspection, there will also be behind-the-scenes and other bonus content.
New functions include being able to rewind the live stream and entering a rider’s name and going straight to their round. The app is also available on more platforms for mobile phones, tablets and smart TV.
A ClipMyHorse.TV Badminton Season Pass is available to buy here.
Existing subscribers to Badminton TV will have been contacted directly to advise how to activate their ClipMyHorse.TV account. Find out more here.
