Watch HOYS in 3D!

You may want to pull out your riding boots after experiencing the new Sky Sports broadcast of Horse Of The Year Show (HOYS 4 – 9 October) in 3D. Following in the footsteps of rugby, football and cricket, Sky sports will be showing the very first 3D equestrian show the world has ever seen.

Despite Sky 3D being launched only a year ago, the coverage will include international classes such as the speed horse, accumulator classes through to the Pony Club mounted games! Sky has also teamed up with event organisers for this jump along feature – equestrian clothing at the ready!

“I’m really excited,” explained managing director of HOYS, Helena Pettitt.

“To see a horse jumping out of the screen will be amazing."

Robin Broomfield from Sky 3D explained that ‘3D lends itself very well to equestrianism’ and compares well to other sports such as rugby which got viewers jumping out of their seats. 

Visitors to the show will be able to watch the 3D footage at the Lakeside bar, however home viewers able to watch the show in 3D are likely to be fewer, given 3D television only being available to purchase in the last year.
