High Definition Series Broadcasts Best Horse Riding Destinations

Washington, DC–Equitrekking®, the first travel television series to explore the world on horseback, begins broadcasts on KET in Kentucky with a new season of episodes, taking viewers horseback riding in extreme destinations including snowy Quebec, along the border of Arizona and Mexico, over a cross-country course at the Rolex Three-Day in Lexington and deep into the jungle in Belize.

Equitrekking broadcasts on KET1 on Saturdays at 1:30pm starting September 6th and KET2 on Wednesdays at 5:30pm starting September 3rd. Starting October 2nd, the series also broadcasts on KETHD on Thursdays at 11pm.

The high definition series is hosted by equestrian travel expert Darley Newman, author of the new companion coffee table book Equitrekking Travel Adventures on Horseback, and managing editor of the equestrian travel website with online video Equitrekking.com. In Kentucky, Darley visited the Kentucky Horse Park, Secretariat Thoroughbred Adoption Center and the Rolex Three-Day. Darley also enjoyed riding with naturalist Don Pelly at Shaker Village, riding Tennessee Walking 
Horses at the Big Red Stables with Emily Dennis in Harrodsburg and 
riding in Western Kentucky at Land Between the Lakes and Barren River State Park.

“In each episode we travel off the beaten path to discover nature, history and culture. We ride with local people on their horses, so we are constantly challenged with new riding styles, new terrain and changing weather. The locals give us an insider’s perspective on each destination, which I think is the best way to travel,” said host and producer Darley Newman. “We trek to places best seen and sometimes only accessible on horseback, taking viewers to destinations that normal travel shows just don’t venture.”
