Stream the ‘Australia Day Event’
Many of us have been deeply impacted by the devastating bushfires in Australia and to show support, we are incredibly proud to announce that we were able to live stream the ERAofGB Australia Day Fundraising Event for Fire Affected Australian Equestrians at Lowlands RDA Equestrian Centre for FREE across the world!
The Australia Day Event
On Sunday 26th January, H&C livestreamed a group of celebrity riders conducting a lecture demo event – with all proceeds going towards nominated charities. A recording of the live stream is now available to view here for H&C Plus subscribers.
Celebrity riders:
- Sam Griffiths – 2014 Badminton Champion, 2016 Olympic Team Bronze
- Chris Burton – 2008 & 2013 Adelaide Champion, 2016 Burghley Champion, 2016 Olympic Team Bronze
- Bill Levett – Australian World Equestrian Games team member 2014 & 2018
- Tim Price – FEI World #2, Luhmühlen Champion 2014 & 2019, 2018 Burghley Champion
- Paul Tapner – 2010 Badminton Champion, WEG Team Member 2010 & 2014, ERA Vice President
- Piggy March – 2019 Badminton Champion, 2018 World Equestrian Games Team Gold, 2019 European Championships Team Silver
- Alex Bragg – Event Rider Masters Leg 5 Winner 2018
Each Celebrity Rider had a 20/30-minute slot to do their own unique demo. Some rode themselves; some taught one of their own student riders, and some had celebrity guest riders as their demo riders.
The aim of the charity event was to raise as much money as possible to support the Equestrian Fire Relief Australia, BlazeAid and the Buy A Bale charities, who are doing much needed work to support our Australian equestrian community affected by the bush fire crisis. We hope that by streaming the event for free we will encourage donations from further afield.
