With live streaming video of events such as Rolex and Badminton, I’m rapidly becoming an armchair equestrian.

While Rolex coverage cost $12.99 this year, thanks to Horse & Hound Magazine, you can watch the cross-country phase of Badminton 2009 for FREE!

Go to www.badminton-horse.co.uk on Saturday May 9 for all the excitement of cross-country at Badminton.

Action begins 11 am GMT+1 on Saturday May 9.

Don’t miss extended coverage of this year’s Badminton and exclusive archive footage starting May 29 on H&C Sky Channel 280 in the UK, and on demand at www.horseandcountry.tv.

Horse & Country TV is the official broadcast and broadband partner of the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials.
