    Who are the commentators at the European Para Dressage Championships?

    The English-language livestream commentary on ClipMyHorse.TV is led by Natasha Baker – six-time Paralympic gold medallist and seasoned broadcaster, bringing a rare blend of technical knowledge and personal insight.

    Natasha has multiple grade III medals to her name from senior championships, with Paralympic titles across four Games. She made her championship debut back in 2011 and has gone on to enjoy major success with horses including Cabral, Mount St John Diva Dannebrog and Keystone Dawn Chorus.

    More recently, she has turned her attention to commentary, where her calm delivery, technical knowledge and first-hand experience at the top level have made her a popular and respected voice on the livestream.

    Inclusive audio commentary

    For spectators attending in person, a new audio platform called Gazeti will provide free, live commentary streamed directly to smartphones – no downloads, accounts, or special equipment required.

    Created by Dutch entrepreneur Richard Zwart and inspired by his visually impaired son’s desire to enjoy sport alongside friends and family, the service run from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 September. Follow the link here to listen along.

    Live commentary will be available in English and Dutch, with insight from:

    • Monique Peutz – international (para) judge and KNHS national coach

    • Nicole den Dulk – former elite para rider
