SPONSORSHIP
The annual hunter show has been running in since March 2016 and has proved a huge success among Ireland’s equestrian community. It attracts upwards of 30 different hunts from all corners of Ireland and Britain. It is a wonderful test of the hunter’s élan over natural obstacles such as hedges, fences and banks, all within the boundaries of Punchestown racecourse. The show is currently attended by approximately 500 people.
The show is operated by a committee of the Kildare Hunt Club ltd, besides showcasing the Irish hunter, it is a fundraiser for the club’s activities.
Our main promotion platform has been Facebook and to date we have had over 600,000 views of our videos since 2016, offering a sponsor great exposure over the traditional sponsorship offering of adverts in paper programmes etc. Below are some examples of the video promotions we have run in the past.
FEATURE VIDEO
This video was made under controlled lighting conditions, the voiceover allows your product to be described with a model interacting in an equestrian environment. It was eventually shared on Instagram to a fashion hashtag with similar looking coat. A professional model who sold a similar coat replied " Not my desgin". Her coat sold for £1050, little did she know our coat was bought for €10 in a charity shop!

A lucky misty morning, set against the poetry of W.B.Yeats.
KEY SHOW UPDATES
A typical example of a show update, which includes examples of logo's used for main sponsors. All sponsors would have a "tag" in the main body of the Facebook text for such updates.
