You'll be telling us that the weather is fine and glorious and that there are no worries about the state of the ground next!

Seriously, what is the going currently like?

ETA It's boo hiss that the coverage is not on H&C

Thanks very much TP for the reminder and all the info! I think I'll give a trial CMH Subscription a try, and set a reminder for cancelling it in good time!
Good luck to Team GB!

Haven’t been in yet but going to walk it on Wednesday. It’s dry and warm but not hot, think they have had a fair amount of rain recently so I expect ground will be spot on

 

[Surbie]

Oooh thanks @teapot! Time to try CMH, I really fancy some armchair eventing.

 

[sportsmansB]

Sad for us Irish that it coincides with Dublin this year so our horsey fix is condensed - though the Irish team is a very inexperienced one so we aren't expecting much.
Have team picked on Eventing Manager and hopefully some of the hospitality tents at Dublin will be showing the XC so we can keep up with whats going on!

 

[KEK]

Wow enjoy IHW, super jealous! Really want to watch but I've used my free trial on CMH and wow its so $$$$ as you have to take the whole year out
Hard to pick for the team such amazing horse/rider combinations. Mine would be Ros, Laura, Yasmin and Kitty I reckon.

 

[j1ffy]

There is an option on CMH to pay monthly (although it doesn't word it that way - I've closed the page now so I can't see what it says!). On my browser, there was a little radio button above the two package options to 'pay annually' or something else...I flicked it to the other option and it came up with £13.95 per month.

 

[Tiddlypom]

I'm musing over subscribing. I think that I have already used up my 30 day free trial previously, you're only allowed one go at that.

Screenshots below. The monthly subscription for the with adverts premium package comes in at £165 per annum compared with £129.95 if you pay up front for the year.

I am not sure if you can dip in and out of the monthly package.

Yes I noticed that. They've hidden it down the bottom. I'm trying my other email account and it letting me have a free trial

 

[Squeak]

I think I've heard of issues being unable to subscribe from CMH when signing up for the free trials and CMH being very rude and nasty. Has anyone experienced any problems?

 

[j1ffy]

I had a lot of emails and then actual letters (yes - actual paper ones posted in an envelope! Never had that from a streaming service before) when I didn't renew my subscription. Nothing nasty, just persistent. They were all deleted / went in the bin.

This is what I'm worried about if I take out the free month's trial Shame the Beeb aren't showing it like two years ago

I had a free CMH 30 day trial last summer and cancelled it fine within the trial period.

I think I read in the small print that even for the pay monthly plan, you have actually signed up for the full year, so it didn't appear to be possible to cancel mid year, should you decide you don't want to continue with it. This might have changed of course since then.

Yeah that's my understanding with the monthly plan too would be happy to pay for 1month.

 

[superpony]

Does anyone know if we can watch it on the small screen without paying?

 

[TheMule]

It will probably be for premium members only so not available to watch small screen

FWIW I subscribe to CMH and find it excellent- there is literally always something to watch. I feel sad that people try to cheat a reasonable offer by changing email addresses etc as the quality, quantity and range of offering is certainly worth the money

I am running stories on Insta about being out at Haras - https://instagram.com/the_eventing_journey?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg==

It’s been hard so far with food and drink, driven past the venue and it’s beautiful. Looking forward to it all getting started today.

Just followed you.
Love that you’ve taken English sparkling wine to France (mind you, with so many top vineyards buying land in Kent it might all be English soon!!)

 

[LEC]

I love Chapel Down it’s truly one of my favourites. We do have more french stuff to come with Laurent, Pol, Piper and Tatt. We are quite enjoying our cider as well. Todays plan is to watch the trot up, watch them school for dressage and walk xc

 

[Tiddlypom]

I've signed up for the free trial with a view to going onto the yearly plan @ £129.95 per annum. I have up to Sept 7 to cancel it.

You do have to sign up to subscribe for the full 12 months if you pay monthly @ £13.75 per month, you can't dip in and out. It'll cost you £35.05 per annum extra to pay monthly.

It is my second free trial as I am using another email address, but that is not to trick them, it's the one associated with my PayPal account which is my chosen payment method. It keeps it all simpler.

Last year when I signed up for the CMH trial, I was expecting to extend through to a year's contract, but I like to mainly watch eventing and found that there wasn't much available on CMH, perhaps that's changed now?

I subscribe to H&C as they now show a good selection of UK events, unfortunately not Euros though. I'd be more than happy to pay CMH per event etc. I think that FEI.TV is based on the CMH platform, so perhaps they do a per-event subscription? I'll take a look to see.

Drawn order is here:

@TheMule - it’s not about cheating the system, some of us just simply only want to watch individual event(s) without signing up for a year’s worth! Why they can’t offer a one off event option is beyond me, and it was something I suggested when I had a job interview with them.

CMH now have the monopoly on FEI events, especially if the BBC aren’t covering this year (albeit BE used the same FEI/CMH footage for 2021). Must be the first time in almost twenty years they’re not covering the Eventing Euros

 

[Honey08]

Chapel Down! We used to have it on the airline and nobody would ever drink it unless everything else ran out. I’ve never tried their sparkling though.

Have a wonderful time. I’m very jealous.

 

[Honey08]

And how do you choose a team from that fabulous line up!

 

[teapot]

Team is Kitty, Yas, Laura and Ros; the two Toms are individuals!

 

[Nicnac]

All British horses through the trot up and the two held (Germany and Switzerland) passed after hold.

Followed your IG LEC as will be at Longines Global tomorrow, working Friday and fencing judging BE Satuday Chapel Down is fantastic - quite local to me and I love some of their wines. Worth a visit if you can get there.

AND an all female team for the Europeans - did us proud last time so finger's crossed!

 

[ihatework]

Brits all looked great.
Walked course, ground nice, should be a good competition.
Now settled with raclette & rose
