Portola Valley, CA – July 15, 2010 – Equestrian Life is excited to announce that we will be airing episodes of the popular equestrian television show, “The Saddle Club,” on our website, www.equestrianlife.com, following their premiere on HRTV. Equestrian Life is offering the show on our website for viewers who are not able to watch it live on television. Equestrian Life is a dynamic media company dedicated to the equestrian community and horse lovers across all breeds and disciplines.
“The Saddle Club” premiered on HRTV ® on July 12 at 8 p.m. ET and 8 p.m. PT. The show will re-air each week on Tuesdays and Sundays, and will be available at www.equestrianlife.com on the same day that it premiers on television. New episodes will air every Monday with the season finale scheduled for December 27th.
“We know that our audience wants the flexibility to watch each episode on TV or online when it is convenient for them. We believe having the shows accessible via either the television screen or the computer screen is important for the dynamic, busy, internet savvy audience we have at Equestrian Life,” said Deana Bergquist, President and Co-Founder of Equestrian Life.
The popular half-hour children’s horse TV show is based on a children’s series of books, “The Saddle Club,” written by Bonnie Bryant, and has a companion website, www.saddleclubtv.com.
“Adding ‘The Saddle Club’ episodes to our programming on equestrianlife.com is just another way that we strive to provide interesting and appropriate shows for all equestrians,” adds Deana. “We know how popular the show was when it aired on Discovery Kids and expect similar enthusiasm for it on HRTV and on the equestrianlife.com Web site.”
The informative, motivating and thought-provoking show features three teenage girls – Stevie, Carole and Lisa – who share their weekly adventures at fictional Pine Hollow Stables as they train to compete in equestrian competitions. While each exhibits different personalities and copes with personal issues in their everyday lives, they share a common love of horses and an uncompromising loyalty to each other.
“The Saddle Club” was produced by Crawfords Productions Ltd and Protocol Entertainment Inc. Three seasons of “The Saddle Club” TV series have been produced so far and ran in the United States on Discovery Kids and PBS Kids as well as internationally on various platforms.
To see “The Saddle Club” television series as well as high-definition videos on such topics as veterinary medicine, horsemanship, riding styles, lesson ideas, horse and rider health, and event coverage, go to Equestrian Life today!
