Ottawa, Ontario—Equine Canada and contest sponsors, Members First, John Deere, SoftStall and Greenhawk Harness and Supplies are pleased to announce “Win Your Way to WEG,” a dynamic contest that will award one lucky entrant a trip for two to the 2010 World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Lexington, Kentucky.

Beginning June 1, 2009, and running through to April 30, 2010, entrants will have the opportunity to submit a creative video that shows why they have what it takes to be a Canadian ambassador to WEG. Videos will then be vetted for content and approved videos will be posted on the Equine Canada website.

As if making the video wasn’t fun enough, entrants will then hit the streets and encourage their friends, family, barn-mates, schools and communities to vote for their video. The more votes they get, the better their chances!

Beginning May 1, 2010, posted video submissions will be narrowed down to the top 25 most popular videos and the vote count will be reset to zero.

The excitement will build as the top 25 champion their video for votes and their chance to cheer for our Canadian Equestrian Team at this memorable and magical event. The video receiving the highest number of votes by May 31, 2010, will be declared the winner and its creator will be heading to the Kentucky Horse Park and the prestigious 2010 World Equestrian Games!

The winner will receive a trip for two to including their choice of tickets to one of the following discipline series: eventing, show jumping or reining; round trip airfare; accommodations and spending money.

“The 2010 Games will be the first WEG ever held on our side of the Atlantic, and we are delighted that our Members First, John Deere, Greenhawk and SoftStall partners are joining with us to encourage and celebrate the enthusiasm of Canadian fans,” said Akaash Maharaj, Equine Canada CEO.
