Fans given the opportunity to become part of #TEAMHOYS

Six of Horse of the Year Show’s most enthusiastic and engaged fans will this year have the opportunity to be recognised for their love of the show by becoming ‘HOYS Superfans’ ahead of this year’s HOYS in October at the Resorts World Arena, NEC Birmingham.

A social campaign built with the aim of connecting with the younger followers of Horse of the Year Show, it has been designed to resonate with 16-28 year olds who are keen influencers in the equestrian industry through Facebook, Instagram or YouTube vlogs. The social media tag for the campaign is #TeamHOYS and the lucky six Superfans will be challenged to achieve the highest number of ticket sales and recruit the most members of #TeamHOYS.

How to get involved

We are looking for six enthusiastic, horse-loving and social media savvy individuals to help us spread the news about Horse of the Year Show 2019!  Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) is one of the longest standing horse shows in the UK and is the biggest week of the year for equestrian entertainment. Returning to The NEC Birmingham this October, the event will showcase national and international showjumping classes, the finals for the Pony Club Mounted Games Prince Philip Cup, and will see the best of British show horses come forward for the finale to the showing season. So whether you are a showjumper, a pony clubber or a showing enthusiast, we have you covered.

The lucky six Superfans will work alongside our existing HOYS Ambassador and will be set up as an affiliate with our official ticketing partner, The Ticket Factory. This will enable us to track how many ticket sales you generate through your promotion of the show. For each ticket you sell, you will receive a 2% commission on the face value ticket price, and to make sure you look the part you will get your very own HOYS clothing to enjoy. You can blog and vlog to your heart’s content and tell all your friends about some of the exciting plans we have in store for 2019! Whichever Superfan has sold the most tickets by 31st August 2019 will be crowned the Ultimate HOYS Superfan and will receive a very special, unique and never offered before prize…..
