Renowned horse trainer/clinician Lynn Palm will impart her vast expertise of horsemanship instruction to HRTV (R) viewers on a weekly basis, beginning this Monday, February 8, when the network unveils its commitment to Equestrian programming.

Palm’s Partnership Training will debut on HRTV at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT, and the wide array of informative half-hour shows will continue weekly over the next several months. While the shows premiere on Monday evenings, they will also re-air on Tuesdays, and the following Sunday.

“I am excited to be part of HRTV’s new Equestrian programming line-up,” said Palm.

A pioneer among women in the horse industry for the past four decades, and accomplished in many Equestrian disciplines, Palm has championed the “partnership” between the horse and rider. Based in Florida, she has influenced thousands of horse enthusiasts with her unique, and effective, approach to training. Palm’s primary goal is to educate horse enthusiasts from the first time owner to the avid competitor on general horse care, horsemanship and ground and under saddle training.

“HRTV’s expansion into a leadership role in Equestrian TV is greatly enhanced by having a renowned presence like Lynn Palm on during our opening night of Equestrian programming,” said Jim Bates, HRTV’s executive vice president and general manager. “Lynn’s ‘partnership’ series provides both informative, and compelling, shows in the weeks ahead.”

HRTV, which carries horseracing from many of the sport’s top venues, will add a wide-variety of Equestrian programming, highlighting both major international and US-based competitions, as well as documentaries and instructional shows, in the months ahead. New Equestrian programming will debut on Monday evenings, both in the morning and primetime on Tuesdays, and on Sunday mornings.
