How to watch Bramham Horse Trials
Saturday’s cross-country and Sunday’s showjumping action will be streamed on H&C+. The remainder of the action will not be available to watch via any live streaming services, so if you want to watch, you will need to buy Bramham Horse Trials tickets to attend in person. Horse & Hound will also be reporting on the action – see more details.
If you’re abroad, and trying to watch H&C+ like you normally would back in the UK, then you can use a VPN. Check out NordVPN, where you can get 70% off, plus a 30-day money back guarantee, and follow the instructions below.
H&C+ provides its service to Germany, the UK, the USA, the Netherlands and Switzerland, so you will be able to tune in via H&C+ in those destinations.
Annual H&C+ membership is £84.99 as a one-off payment and there’s also an option to pay in 12 monthly instalments of £14.99. Non-members of H&C+ are also able to watch this event with a H&C+ event pass, which allows you to purchase a pay-per-view pass to view this event alone from £14.99 for 30 days.
*Pricing for the H&C+ Annual Membership and H&C+ Freestyle options may differ by territory. Please see the H&C website for further details.
How to watch Bramham Horse Trials live with a VPN
Not in the UK right now? You don’t have to miss out on any of the action from Bramham Horse Trials.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) will alter your device’s IP address to make it appear to be in a different country, allowing you to access your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world. It’s great for watching racing on the move, and it’s also handy even if you’re watching at home. VPNs are designed with internet security in mind, creating encrypted connections that keep your data safe from third parties and improve streaming speeds by preventing bandwidth ‘throttling’ from your internet service provider.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. We’d suggest using a paid-for service such as NordVPN, which is the best VPN in the world according to our colleagues at TechRadar.
Get 70% with NordVPN
TechRadar love NordVPN’s ability to unblock streaming services, its compatibility, and its top-level security. It comes with a big discount in time for Bramham Horse Trials and a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try it 100% risk-free.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Download and install the VPN of your choice. NordVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access – UK for H&C+.
3. Then head over to your streaming service on your device and enjoy the live stream.
