PR AND MEDIA

Welcome to the PR and Media Page – this is where you can access all the articles we have sent for publication throughout England and Wales and other media featuring our Rides, Riders and Endurance GB.

We have had a busy few months; as you will have seen in recent website news items, Airowear have kindly agreed to sponsor four of our major rides, including prizes in the top classes at each event – Golden Horseshoe, Cirencester, Barbury Castle and Red Dragon – please support our sponsors by looking at the troxell hats and bodybase clothing products which will be at each of these events with Steve from Performance Equestrian, or visit the Airowear website for more information; www.airowear.co.uk

We have also had a number of articles published in regional and national press; and International Endurance Rider Beccy Broughton will feature in a four-part series of Masterclass articles, based on her Total Training Therapy business, in Horse magazine so keep your eyes peeled for that one – it should be very interesting! Beccy’s website can be seen at www.beccybroughton.co.uk

The Golden Horseshoe ran an additional class this year, enabling members of the media and press to experience Endurance Riding in a competitive class. All entrants were accompanied by an International rider listed for the British Senior Team and the winner was decided on a pulse/speed formula specific to the Golden Horseshoe. Golden Horseshoe is also supported by leading feed specialist Dodson and Horrell, who provided prizes in each class. For more information on feeding, go to www.dodsonandhorrell.com

PLUS we have ongoing:

“The Kentucky Fund”

Fundraising for the British Team Riders to go to Kentucky is ongoing – As you can seen on the EGB website, currently YOU have raised £19,675! This is a fantastic start and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed so far…..

There have been many individual efforts; Tricia Hirst’s 56 mile Ultramarathon at the end of May raised £502 and Chris Yeoman’s half marathon £1360. The Three Peaks Challenge with Rachel Atkinson, Beccy Broughton, Rachel Claridge, Annie Joppe, Sarah Rogerson, Nicky Sherry and crew member Steve Masterson with well known photographer and already once successful 3 Peaks challenger David Saunders – are all collecting sponsorship.

Do keep an eye on the Endurance GB website for all recent news and event information….. and remember to tell your friends how to get involved as well.

GET FEATURED IN THE EGB MAGAZINE…

You are probably aware of a number of fundraising events taking place to raise money towards the Kentucky Fund – this is to help our International Riders meet the costs of taking their horses to WEG. Please do support these events, or if you are able to organise your own fundraising event, let us know what you intend to do and we will help and support you in this. Everyone who raises funds separately to EGB organised events will be in a special one-off feature in the Endurance GB magazine later this year….

The Kentucky Series Rides will provide many of us with a good training ride opportunity before the season starts “proper” so please do support these…. And BRING A FRIEND!

Think on this question….How did YOU get started in endurance? For many it is with the help and support of a knowledgeable friend, so encourage all those horsey friends you have to “give it a go!”

We want to grow our membership – the bigger we are as a society, the easier it becomes to provide more rides locally, and the more people realise what makes Endurance so special as a sport… think about what you love about Endurance and tell your friends about it…. if every member took one friend to one ride, that could make such a massive difference…. Especially as I know that those riders I have talked into doing “just one ride” are still competing every year…. The Kentucky Series Rides are a special opportunity to get your friends involved!

I am very keen to see us progress in our PR and Media, and I believe I have a very strong team including committee, groups PR officers and other volunteers to help us achieve our goals. If you would also like to help in any way, please do contact me at
