How to Sponsor
Every successful business knows that their achievement depends on a community of supporters working together.
Sponsorships are the lifeblood of our sport. As such we are committed to producing results for each sponsor. Every sponsor has unique objectives, therefore we work with each to create a dynamic package which meets their needs specifically.
We have a number of prepared sponsorship tiers available, and we can also work with you to create a package which meets your desired needs. Specific sponsorship opportunities include all of the following:
Spotlight Events
Sponsorship of a spotlight event offers your business the most exposure with the largest audience. These events are advertised broadly to the public, drawing in the most spectators, and can reach 90% of our attending audience as competitors and their families stay to watch. These events include:
Hunter Derby
Style. Brilliance. Beauty. The Derby is the signature event for hunters, challenging them with elegant course designs inspired by the traditional fox hunt. Jumps and obstacles are given more natural appearances, and the entrants are judged on style, conformation, and mastery of “handy” technique.
Grand Prix
Fast. Accurate. Thrilling. The Grand Prix is the signature event in show jumping, challenging horses and riders with huge jumps, tight turns, and timed competition. Clear first round competitors return for the penultimate “jump off” competition, where those fastest on their hooves take your breath away as you cheer them on.
Cascade DerbyCross™
This Cascade Horse Show exclusive is a combined event which marries the style and handiness of a hunter derby with the fast pace and athleticism of a jumper speed round. This fan-favorite event challenges riders and their horses to exhibit their full range of equestrian skills. Both hunter and jumper courses must be completed back-to-back without dismounting.
Spotlight events are available for sponsorship at prices ranging from $1,000-10,000 based on prize money offered.
Special Classes and Divisions
Special classes are premium featured events in the hunter and jumper competitions and always draw an audience. At Cascade shows, these events include:
In addition, we have opportunities to sponsor entire divisions which include:
Divisions, Special Classes & Classics are available for sponsorship at prices ranging from $250-1,000.
Hospitality Events
An important part of every Cascade Horse Show is the social element—time spent outside the show ring enjoying the camaraderie of fellow equestrians and family.
Cascade Horse Shows events are known for their friendly and welcoming hospitality, which thanks in large part to the generosity of our sponsors, is always complimentary for attendees and their families.
Specific hospitality sponsorship opportunities include:
Additional Sponsorship Opportunities
Cascade Horse Shows offers additional sponsorship opportunities for businesses that include “named” arenas, branded jumps, and various awards and prizes. Arena sponsorship features your brand in a specific hunter or jumper ring for an entire event with continuous exposure.
