Horse & Country (H&C) has announced that it will offer extensive and exclusive live coverage from the forthcoming Longines International Jumping La Baule on its streaming service H&C+. The stream will be available worldwide, excluding France.
Taking place from 10th – 13th June, viewers will be able to see a total of 15 Classes across both the CSI 1* and CSIO 5* events including the prestigious Derby Région des Pays de la Loire on the afternoon of the 12th (see timetable below). The Derby is the only class of its kind to take place within a CSIO 5*. With its natural fences set against the backdrop of the spectacular grass arena of the François André Stadium, the Derby sets challenges reminiscent of the cross-country phase in eventing, as much as a traditional showjumping course.

H&C Director of Content Jonathan Rippon commented:
Jumping La Baule is one of the truly iconic events in the equestrian calendar. We’re delighted to be able to bring so much world class sport, and in particular the spectacular Derby, to the widest possible audience.”
For Jumping La Baule, President of the Show Pierre de Brissac said,
With limited spectator participation this year we are determined to give our fans and supporters the best possible Jumping La Baule experience. Our partnership with H&C is a great example of that commitment.”
