Watch HOYS on TV and get a front-row seat for the highlights, emotion, and standout performances from this year’s iconic event, celebrating the very best of equestrian sport.
This year’s Horse of the Year Show was held at Birmingham’s NEC (8-12 October 2025), and this programme from Channel 4 will take us back through the action and share behind-the-scenes insights that you won’t have seen on the ClipMyHorse.TV live stream.
The follow-up highlights programme will air on Channel 4 at 5pm on Saturday, 1 November 2025. This 90-minute show will feature behind-the-scenes footage in addition to segments of competition, and will be hosted by Matt Baker, dressage rider and Love Island star Gemma Owen and para dressage rider Tegan Vincent Cooke.
If you want to watch the competition back in full, you can do so on the ClipMyHorse.TV archive.
How to watch HOYS live from anywhere
While it is not necessary to use a VPN to access the Channel 4 coverage, if you would like to protect your online viewing from being monitored by third-parties, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help you do this. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t able to track what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. We’d suggest using a paid-for service such as NordVPN, where you can get 73% off, which offers a 100% risk-free money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. NordVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access.
3. Then head over to ClipMyHorse.TV on your browser or device and enjoy the livestream.
We recommend VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example:
Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service)
Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad
We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
