Ride TV[1] is 24-hour, high-definition television network dedicated to showcasing equestrian sports, culture and lifestyle.

On June 8, 2021, it was announced that Ride TV would be acquired by GAC Media, an investment group led by Tom Hicks and former Crown Media Holdings CEO Bill Abbott. The move was announced alongside their similar acquisition of Great American Country from Discovery, Inc. ahead of said company's merger with WarnerMedia, and the two networks are set to become sister networks with the move.
