Formed in 2011, RIDE Television Network Inc. (RIDE TV) is a privately held corporation that was created for the purpose of launching a 24-hour, high definition television network dedicated to featuring equestrian sports and lifestyle content. RIDE TV recently held their first annual Rodeo Week, focusing solely on rodeo-related programming for the week of December 6-16, 2018, which coincided with the 2018 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV.
Included as part of RIDE TV’s Rodeo Week lineup were daily RIDE TV GO livestreams of the ALL IN Barrel Race, held at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
If you’re not familiar with it, barrel racing is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider race to complete a clover leaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. At the 2018 ALL IN Barrel Race, riders competed to win more than $500,000 in cash prizes. You can still get caught up on all of the highlights at ridetvgo.com.
