The FEI has launched its first application for iPad and iPad mini devices – FEI TV on the Go – as an extension to FEI TV, its official video service.

The free app, available now here, has been developed to allow FEI TV subscribers to enjoy live coverage of the world’s most prestigious equestrian competitions, events and Championships away from their computers.

In addition to live coverage, FEI TV on the Go has been designed to create an exciting mobile experience for equestrian enthusiasts, giving users access to insightful selections of video-on-demand content from FEI TV, including pre- and post-competition reports, interviews with top riders and equestrian lifestyle magazine programming.

The new app is packed with useful features, including an instantly-delivered FEI news feed with event previews, competition reports, latest rider rankings and other official FEI updates and FEI press releases.

Users can also ensure they do not miss any action by adding events directly to the calendars on their devices, while a countdown clock indicates the time remaining to the next live broadcast.

In addition, FEI TV on the Go comes integrated with the FEI’s Facebook and Twitter feed so that users can interact with the FEI and the international equestrian community on digital social media networks while using the app.

FEI TV on the Go apps for iPhone and Android platforms are currently in development and will be launched in 2013.
