A Thanksgiving From the Equestrian World
As riders, grooms, owners, trainers, and fans gather around their tables this Thanksgiving, the equestrian world continues to move with its own unique rhythm — early mornings at the barn, evening schooling sessions, and show rings buzzing with anticipation around the globe. For many of us, it’s a holiday spent balancing family time and horse time, grateful for the partnership, passion, and pure joy that horses bring into our lives.
A Moment of Reflection
Thanksgiving weekend always marks a special moment in the season — a pause, a breath, and a reflection on everything this sport has given us. From the ponies who teach us patience to the seasoned campaigners who carry us to new goals, every hoofbeat tells a story worth celebrating.
Holiday Weekend Competition Highlights
This year, ClipMyHorse.TV is bringing fans even closer to the action with a full slate of international show jumping, dressage, and driving coverage. Whether you’re tuning in between turkey and pumpkin pie or spending the whole day ringside from your couch, there’s no shortage of thrilling sport to enjoy.
Across the United States, riders are gearing up for star-studded competitions, including the continuation of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup North American League. Overseas, European venues are showcasing the final indoor events of the year, delivering top-class performances from riders aiming to close out their 2025 season on a high note.
Gratitude in Every Stride
But beyond the competition halls, Thanksgiving reminds us what truly binds the equestrian community: dedication, resilience, and an unwavering bond with our horses. It’s in the quiet moments — a soft nicker at feeding time, a perfectly executed schooling exercise, a proud glance after a clear round — that gratitude grows deepest.
A Message From ClipMyHorse.TV
As we celebrate today, we honor the horses who give us their hearts, the teams who keep the sport moving forward, and the global community who joins together on ClipMyHorse.TV to share in every stride, every story, and every victory.
From everyone at ClipMyHorse.TV, we wish you a peaceful, joyful, and horse-filled Thanksgiving. May your day be full of warmth, good company, and unforgettable moments — both in and out of the saddle.
