The first major show to be held at Hickstead this year is the Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby Meeting (19-22 June), and if you can’t attend in person, here’s how to watch Hickstead on TV.
There will be a huge number of showjumping classes, culminating in the iconic Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby on Sunday 22 June, as well as the usual showing and carriage driving classes.
The ClipMyHorse.TV streaming service will be showing all of the action from the International Arena at Hickstead for a fee in the UK. If you’re abroad, and trying to watch ClipMyHorse.TV like you normally would back in the UK, then you can use a VPN.

How to watch Hickstead from anywhere
Not in the UK right now? You don’t have to miss out on any of the action from Hickstead.
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 horse sport 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.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. 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.
3. Then head over to ClipMyHorse on your browser or device and enjoy the livestream.
