Why Sponsor an Equestrian Event?
Each year, companies discover how powerful the association with show jumping events can be. Now is the best time for your company or organization to make an everlasting impression on these equestrian households. The Duncraven Horse Show in August will be attended by at least 400 exhibitors who will arrive with their trainers, grooms, and family members for an exciting three days of competition. Sponsorship packages can be tailored to meet your company or organization's needs.
Show jumping offers a market with the highest demographics profile represented by any sport. Through sponsorship of equestrian events at Duncraven Inc., forward thinking companies can target an audience of high income consumers for a reasonable cost per impression.
The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), the national governing body for the horse sport in the United States, conducted a survey of its 85,000 members and produced these statistics.
The average household income of members was $185,000, which is over three times that of all households in the United States. Almost all of the members own their own home, and the average home value is $594,000, with 22% of members owning two or more homes. All participants at the Duncraven “A” Rated Show on August 27-29, 2010 are members of the USEF, and receive information about all Duncraven events.

Sponsorship Opportunities are Available at Many Levels
The Duncraven Horse Show has sponsorship packages designed for many different levels of investment. A small commitment of only $500 can offer a company, or individual, a great advertising opportunity.
The most prestigious level of sponsorship is available to our corporate partners at the Title Sponsor level. A Title Sponsor has the honor of exclusive naming rights of the Grand Prix Class. The Grand Prix is the “main event” of the horse show. This class attracts the largest crowd coupled with the most experienced riders jumping over the biggest jumps of the event. Having exclusive naming rights of the Grand Prix, you the sponsor, benefit from all Duncraven advertising in industry magazines with a combined circulation of over 60,000.
Whether you are a division sponsor or the Title Sponsor, Duncraven can design a sponsorship package to suit the needs of your business or organization.
