H&C is very excited to be teaming up with Olympic dressage rider Carl Hester to create a new series that takes you behind the scenes at Carl's yard. At Home with Carl Hester is a series of five programmes charting the day-to-day life of Carl, and to provide insights into his background, his spectacular facilities, his team, and – of course – his horses.

Do you have a question for Carl?

Not only will Carl feature on H&C TV Sky 280, but users of horseandcountry.tv have a unique opportunity to ask Carl a question. If you have a question for Carl, visit our Forum and leave your question for Carl in our Ask Carl Hester a question thread. As one of Britain’s most popular and successful dressage riders and veteran of three Olympic Games, Carl competes at top level, is a gifted horse trainer, and is generous in his support of young riding talent.

Carl's sponsor

Saracen Horse Feeds, one of Carl’s sponsors, is supporting the production of the series and will sponsor it on H&C TV. Jim Scott, Commercial Director of Saracen Horse Feeds, said: “Our relationship with Carl underlines Saracen’s commitment to the highest standards of nutrition and competition. We’re excited to be working with H&C TV to bring the reach and awareness of broadcast television to the equestrian sector – our brand values of being at the forefront of feed technology are now reflected in our choice of new multi level media opportunities.”

Background story of equestrian stars

Jonathan Rippon, Head of Programming at H&C TV, said: “We know our audience craves the back story on their equestrian stars, and Carl’s personality is a natural fit for TV. It’s our hope that partnerships like this one will help broaden the appeal of equestrian sports and we thank both Carl and Saracen Horse Feeds for working with us on this series.” At Home with Carl Hester will premiere on H&C TV this November. The full series will be available online after it has been broadcast on Sky 280, and our unique video of Carl answering your questions will be online in November.
