Support our equestrian riders in Rio!

#RideWithUs

The Olympics, one of the most legendary sporting events across the World for which equestrian has been a part for over 100 years. It is a wonderful opportunity for all participating sports to gain global recognition, attract new fans and drive commercial interest thanks to the world wide coverage.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) are measuring and monitoring the appeal and popularity of each sport during Rio as part of a process of choosing which ones remain Olympic disciplines in the coming years and equestrian sport needs to show how strong and popular it is.

That is why each and every member, stakeholder, fan and athlete from all disciples across Australia needs to watch, comment, share on social media, spread the word and support our sport during these Olympic Games.

The FEI has created an engagement driven campaign called #TwoHearts and Equestrian Australia has created a campaign called #RideWithUs, so use both hashtags on all social media platforms when sharing any posts either from or about our athletes and sport, (specifically the posts from media, our National Olympic and Paralympic Committees and the official Rio 2016 page). You can also continue to use the general #Equestrian and the discipline specific: #Eventing, #Dressage, #Jumping, #Paraequestrian hashtags every time you share your excitement.
