SUPPORT YOUR SPORT & SPREAD THE WORD

Wednesday 03 August 2016

With Rio 2016 just days away, and the vivid memories of London 2012 still in our minds, we are calling on you all to once again to show your support for the sport.

With the International Olympic Committee monitoring all sport for popularity and engagement through print, broadcast and online activity we are asking all equestrian fans to shout and share their love of the sport as widely as they can via social media.

There are so many ways to stay engaged with what going on in Rio there really is no excuse not to join in with sharing your passion for equestrianism.  Both the British Equestrian Federation and the FEI have online campaigns running in the form of ‘Join the Journey’ and ‘Two Hearts’ which will take you on an interactive journey with the horses and riders as they progress through the Games. Plus of course you can support the whole of Team GB via their channels.

British Showjumping will be posting via their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram social media channels as will the BEF via their channels which can be found by visiting the Equestrian Team GBR website at www.equestrianteamgbr.co..uk . 

Please do engage your friends and follows as much as you can by posting and sharing some of the stories whilst also including some of the hashtags within your posts relating to Rio 2016, all of which are being monitored on a global level.

Join the conversation and be a part of the monitoring –
