EQSportsNet and USEA Announce Livestreaming Event Coverage Partnership
The United States Eventing Association (USEA) and EQSportsNet have announced a new partnership to expand the access of eventing fans to livestreaming of competitions in 2018.
The new partnership will enable anyone with an interest in the sport of eventing to watch competition live or on demand for half the cost of a normal EQSportsNet subscription. Simply subscribe online at www.eqsports.net and enter the code EQUSEA2018 during registration. With the discount, registered viewers will be able to watch live and on demand coverage for as little as $5 a month.
The vision of EQSportsNet is to provide comprehensive competition coverage as well as to supply inspiring and educational content across the broad and diverse equestrian landscape. Both event coverage and educational pieces are delivered in HD Instant Live and On Demand. EQSportsNet’s vision aligns perfectly with the USEA’s goals to promote the sport of eventing and educate members and fans.
“We are excited by the quality of the eventing coverage provided by EQSportsNet and we think this is an excellent way to expand the access of our sport to eventing fans,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “USEA members and eventing enthusiasts will now be able to have a front row seat to some of the best competitions in the United States for half the price.”
Among the many viewing options on EQSportsNet is the live and on demand coverage of the Cloud 11 ~ Gavilan North LLC Carolina International held at the beautiful Carolina Horse Park in Raeford, North Carolina on March 21 - 24, 2018.
