REVIEW

ClipMyHorse.TV on LG webOS is a niche channel doing one thing very well.

The FEI's official streaming partner brings 1,000+ live equestrian events a year to LG TVs — invaluable for the right viewer, irrelevant to everyone else.

ClipMyHorse.TV is the kind of app that explains itself in two sentences. It is the official streaming home of the FEI — the international governing body of equestrian sport — and it carries more than a thousand live shows a year across dressage, showjumping, eventing, vaulting, and driving. If those words mean something to you, this is essential infrastructure. If they do not, you have already closed the tab.

That sharp audience cut is what makes the LG webOS app interesting to review. There is no broader pitch to make, no general-interest hook, no crossover content. The platform exists to serve a small, devoted European-led audience that wants to watch a Grand Prix from Aachen or a CSI five-star from Geneva on the largest screen in the house, and the webOS client does that job competently. Stream quality on a current LG OLED is the best this content gets on a TV, the Magic Remote handles the event grid better than directional-pad navigation would, and the four-week replay window is long enough to catch the major nights of any tour stop.

What lets the score down — and what the app store reviews keep flagging — is the subscription itself, not the player. Annual pricing has climbed sharply, auto-renewal is aggressive, and cancellation friction is a recurring complaint. None of that lives inside the LG app, but it is the deal you sign when you install it. For the right viewer the rights coverage justifies the cost. For everyone else, this is one of the most specialised subscriptions in the store.

If you watch dressage or showjumping with any regularity, ClipMyHorse.TV is the only TV app that matters.

FEATURES

ClipMyHorse.TV is the smart-TV client of the German-operated equestrian streaming service of the same name, which holds the FEI's official live-streaming partnership and carries every FEI World Cup, Nations Cup, and World/European Championship event in dressage, jumping, eventing, vaulting, and driving. The catalogue runs past 1,000 live events per year plus an archive of more than 4,400 past competitions, instructional videos from the ClipMyHorse Academy, and selected horse-sport films.

The webOS app itself is a fairly standard live-and-on-demand video client — browse upcoming live events by date, jump into a current stream, scrub through the four-week replay window, or dig into the deeper archive. Magic Remote pointing works for the tile-based event grid, and ThinQ voice search will resolve event names and discipline keywords cleanly enough.

Authentication piggybacks on the existing ClipMyHorse.TV / FEI.TV account; sign-in on the TV is a code-pairing handoff to the web. Subscription itself has to be purchased on the website — the LG app is a viewing client, not a billing surface.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

The thing ClipMyHorse.TV gets right is the thing only it can: the rights deals. Watching the FEI World Cup Finals, the major five-star showjumping nights, and the regional national-championship coverage that no general sports network would ever touch is the entire value proposition, and the platform delivers on it consistently. Commentary in English plus local languages on most international events is a meaningful upgrade over the federation streams it replaced.

Stream quality on a current LG OLED is genuinely good — the production values on FEI events are higher than most niche-sport coverage, and the display shows it. The four-week replay window covers the realistic window in which a viewer will catch up on a missed Grand Prix.

ROOM TO IMPROVE

Pricing is the recurring complaint, and it is a real one. An annual subscription runs north of £200 and Trustpilot is stacked with members reporting steep year-over-year price hikes on auto-renewal, with cancellation friction occasionally escalating to debt-collection threats. None of that is the LG app's fault, but it is the experience users sign up for through it.

The webOS client itself has the usual long-tail bugs — periodic forced re-logins, occasional lag in the event grid on older webOS versions, no parallel-stream support when two arenas run simultaneously at a major show. Discovery beyond the headline events is weak; the archive is deep but the app surfaces almost none of it.

CONCLUSION

For anyone who follows equestrian sport with any regularity — competitors, coaches, owners, hardcore fans — ClipMyHorse.TV is not optional, and the LG webOS app is the right way to watch it on a real screen. For everyone else, it is one of the most niche subscriptions on the store and the price reflects it. Worth installing if the FEI calendar means something to you; safe to ignore otherwise.
