Britain’s sole five-star is set to take place in Devon this autumn at the Chedington Bicton Park Horse Trials (2-5 September). To ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action, here’s our complete guide on how to watch Bicton Horse Trials.
The trot-up (Thursday 1 September) and dressage (Friday 2 September) will be free to view.
The cross-country (Saturday 3 September) and the final trot-up and showjumping phases (Sunday 4 September) can be watched with a ‘Weekend Pass’, which are now available for £25, or for £20 for H&C+ members.
All Weekend Pass holders will be able to watch all of the content on-demand for 90 days following the event.
Horse & Country TV say: “Produced by the team behind the Event Rider Masters series, Elite Eventing offers a global first that creates a direct link between you the viewer, and the sport through the creation of the ‘Elite Eventing Premium’ prize fund.
In the simplest of terms – for every sale of the Chedington Bicton Park 5* Live Stream Weekend Pass, over the initial 5,000 purchases, Elite Eventing donates £7.50 directly into the additional prize fund for the Top 10 Bicton 5*. Funds will also be available for the further development of the sport.”
