THE CLIENT

One of the world's leading equestrian streaming platforms

ClipMyHorse.TV is one of the world's leading equestrian streaming platforms, delivering more than 1,000 live events per year, including all FEI competitions, alongside on-demand coverage of horse sport, breeding, and training to audiences worldwide.

The platform operates across a year-round event calendar spanning dressage, show jumping, eventing, driving, vaulting, and breeding, supporting viewers who expect reliable access to live events, replays, highlights, and specialist equestrian programming across devices.

For a business built around live event coverage, the ability to route, manage, and distribute streams reliably is central to the viewer experience.

THE CHALLENGE

Equestrian event streaming is operationally complex

A single event weekend can involve multiple arenas, language feeds, commentary tracks, broadcast partners, event-specific streams, and linear programming that must remain available throughout the schedule.

ClipMyHorse.TV needed a flexible live video workflow that could support both recurring channels and event-specific distribution, without rebuilding the setup for every competition.

The team needed infrastructure that could:

Manage multiple live channels and event feeds at once

Route streams to custom ingest endpoints and partner workflows

Support linear channel delivery alongside event-specific streams

Maintain separate language and commentary feeds per audience

Operate across international regions and event locations

Reduce manual setup for recurring, long-running channels

Keep distribution stable during high-profile event windows

Spin up coverage for new competitions quickly

THE SOLUTION

A centralized platform for every feed, channel, and destination

ClipMyHorse.TV uses Castr as part of its live streaming and distribution workflow to manage multiple equestrian event feeds from a centralized platform.

With Castr, the team can maintain standing channels for recurring workflows while also creating event-specific streams for competitions, partner feeds, commentary tracks, and linear distribution.

Castr supports ClipMyHorse.TV with:

✓Multistreaming to route one incoming feed to multiple destinations

✓Custom RTMP destinations for internal and partner ingest endpoints

✓Regional ingest infrastructure for international production workflows

✓Long-running channel management for linear and recurring feeds

✓Event-specific live stream setup for individual competitions

✓Separate routing for international, language, and commentary feeds

✓A centralized dashboard for monitoring live and offline channels

✓Reusable stream and destination setups across events

Supporting a Global Equestrian Calendar

ClipMyHorse.TV operates around a fast-moving event calendar. Competitions may require multiple live feeds, separate arena coverage, international commentary, and distribution to owned or partner platforms.

Castr helps provide the routing layer for these workflows. Instead of configuring each stream from scratch, ClipMyHorse.TV can maintain dedicated channels for recurring needs such as linear programming, commentary tracks, and event-specific feeds.

This gives production teams a more predictable operating model for live equestrian coverage, especially when multiple events or destinations need to be supported at once.

Multilingual and Partner Feed Distribution

International equestrian audiences often require different commentary and programming experiences. ClipMyHorse.TV uses Castr to support separate feeds for different audiences, including language-specific commentary and international distribution workflows.

The platform can route streams into ClipMyHorse.TV's own ingest infrastructure as well as custom destinations used for specific event or partner requirements. This flexibility is important for a global streaming operation where each event may have slightly different production and distribution needs.

Keeping Live Operations Flexible

Live sports streaming requires a balance of structure and flexibility. Some channels need to stay in place for long periods, while other feeds are created around specific competitions or broadcast requirements.

Castr gives ClipMyHorse.TV the ability to operate both models from the same live streaming environment. Long-running channels can remain configured, while new event feeds can be added as needed for upcoming competitions.

For operations teams, this reduces setup complexity and helps keep live streaming workflows organized across a large event calendar.

THE RESULTS

A more flexible, scalable streaming operation

By using Castr as part of its live distribution workflow, the ClipMyHorse.TV team has been able to:

✓Centralize management of multiple live event feeds

✓Support recurring linear channels and event-specific streams

✓Route content to custom RTMP destinations and internal ingest

✓Maintain separate commentary and language-specific feeds

✓Support international event operations across multiple regions

✓Reduce manual setup for recurring broadcasts

✓Run a more organized live distribution workflow end to end
