Working with owners CVC capital Partners, GSG has completed the transaction to acquire a controlling stake in Equine Network from Growth Catalyst Partners.
This is the first investment into a new league since GSG was established in 2025 and means GSG now holds stakes in eight unique leagues and competitions.
Founder and CEO Tom Winsor and his team have built Equine Network into the leading commercial platform in the US equestrian sports market. Consolidating amateur and semi-professional competitions across Western and English disciplines, their events range from team roping rodeo tournaments to showjumping and barrel racing competitions.
Global Sport Group directors Michelle Wilson and George Barrios will become co-chairs of Equine Network, working alongside Tom and the existing management team with a mission to deliver even more value for fans as part of the GSG family.
