FEI European Championships coming to Horse & Country TV
Tuesday 15 August 2017
The biggest sporting event in the 2017 equestrian diary is coming to Horse & Country TV.
The FEI European Championships are held every two years and provide a thrilling three weeks of world-class sport.
H&C TV is the only channel showing highlights from all the eventing, dressage and showjumping – just a few days after the live action. The programmes will also be available on ‘Catch-Up’ via H&C Play and on Amazon Video.
Fans will be able to follow their favourite riders including showjumpers including Michael and William Whitaker, dressage legend Carl Hester and event riders Tina Cook and Gemma Tattersall – who was recently named the British Open Champion at The Festival of British Eventing, Gatcombe.
In 2015 the Netherlands’ Jeroen Dubbeldam claimed showjumping gold; Germany’s Michael Jung won the eventing; and Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin topped the dressage, for the second time. The Olympic, World and European Champion, Charlotte Dujardin is not competing this year, which leaves the competition wide open.
The 2017 Europeans have two spectacular venues: the jumping and dressage take place in the heart of the city of Gothenburg in Sweden, while the eventing is being held in Strzegom, Poland.
Equestrian enthusiasts can catch all the action on H&C TV, starting with the eventing, which is the ultimate challenge featuring dressage, showjumping and cross-country. Here’s what to watch and when:
- Eventing – Saturday 26 August at 9pm
- Team dressage – Sunday 27 August at 9pm

In addition to these highlight shows, Horse & Country TV will have a film crew in Gothenburg to capture backstage action and exclusive interviews. All the video content generated from this activity will be available to watch for free on the H&C website and social media platforms.
H&C TV is now also available on Amazon Video. This is a new service, which allows Prime members in Germany and the UK to subscribe to a great line-up of channels including Discovery Channel and Eurosport Player.
