Horse & Country (H&C), the leading international sports network, will provide exclusive streaming coverage of the 2023 United States Eventing Association (USEA) American Eventing Championships (AEC) presented by Nutrena Feeds on its streaming service, H&C+. The competition will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, from August 29-September 3, and will feature many of North America’s best eventing combinations as well as the sport’s rising stars.
The AEC is the USEA’s annual championship for every level of the Olympic equestrian sport of eventing, from Beginner Novice to the $60,000 Adequan® USEA Advanced Final. H&C will broadcast worldwide live coverage of all three phases of the $60,000 Adequan® USEA Advanced Final at the AEC, as well as select coverage from the Intermediate, Preliminary, Training, and Modified divisions.

H&C Director of Content Jonathan Rippon said, “We are thrilled to feature the USEA American Eventing Championships on our livestream schedule, and we hope that fans of the sport and competitors at the AEC will enjoy H&C’s expanded livestream coverage of all divisions this year. As one of the premier eventing competitions in the United States and a highlight on our USEA Channel, we are very pleased to share it with our worldwide audience.”
USEA CEO Rob Burk added, “We are very happy to continue our strong partnership with H&C. The American Eventing Championships showcases the best of the eventing sport, from the junior and amateur athletes to the seasoned professionals. Being able to share even more of this important competition with H&C’s broad audience in 2023 is very exciting.”
