Horseriders

The documentary series Horseriders gallops and jumps through six episodes in the international arena of equestrian sports — past fashionable hippodromes and exclusive auctions, past sleepy Flemish villages that can transform into global places of pilgrimage with one exceptional performance.

It explores a world where unsung heroes go by names like Quel Homme De Hus, Emerald, and Katanga — where entire families divide their time and ambitions between riding and trading, between jumping and haggling; where sperm samples are shipped across the globe each morning, and newborn foals are sold for the price of a house.

Many top riders are preparing for the Olympic Games. Together with them, we look ahead to Paris 2024.
