Why Sponsor in Advance? Why sponsor at all?
As fellow horse-lovers, we understand how much it costs just to have a horse, much less go to a horse show. So we know perfectly well that it's hard to justify giving even more money to a horse show that will cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars to attend, and offers little if any prize money.
But please do!
It costs almost $80,000 to host this horse show, much of it due up-front. Between the facility rentals, and salary and travel expenses of our officials, it's just a huge financial undertaking. But horse shows are so necessary to the health of our horse industry. Without shows to attend, there would be little incentive to breed, raise, train, or offer lessons. The horse professionals couldn't continue, and even boarding barns would begin to vanish.
With fewer and fewer people owning their own land, the joy and love of horse ownership---that special magic of a one-on-one relationship with a 1,200-pound animal---could truly become a thing of the past.
So please DO spend a little extra. Or, better yet, talk to the businesses you frequent and give them the opportunity to support something that's important to you. NTASHA is a 501c3 committed to sharing our horses with the world and to perpetuating a "hobby" that loves you back and helps you grow from the inside-out! In addition to providing you with a receipt, we can offer the incentives listed above.
Support the Show With Sponsorships From Outside Businesses
Another great way to support a horse show is to solicit outside sponsors. Our show offers businesses a wonderful opportunity to market their service or product to a very specific target market, which is very beneficial for equine-related businesses, but also a good marketing opportunity for companies of any general merchandise like jewelry, apparel, travel services, or anything else that our exhibitors buy on a regular basis. We can offer a range of exposure from the mention of their business over the PA, to allowing them to hang signs or set up tables or vendor trailers. Besides our show, which sells about 300 stalls each year, the US Team Penning World's Championships will be runing concurrently in the main arena on campus. This will bring in a huge number of both spectators and participants from across the country. A business with a vendor trailer could set up with visibility to both shows.
