The FEI European Showjumping Championships kicks off on 1 September in Riesenbeck in Germany, the base of former Olympic champion Ludger Beerbaum, but will you be able to watch the European Showjumping Championships live if you’re unable to be there in person?
That depends on whether or not you have an account with FEI.TV/ClipMyHorse.TV, which will be broadcasting all of the showjumping action live for those with a premium subscription. Commentary will be available in English, German, French, Spanish or Dutch.
For those in the UK, the BBC is expected to show both rounds of the team competition on its Red Button service, as well as a highlights programme at 2pm on Monday 6 September on BBC2.
