A special recognition to the continued support and dedication of our sponsors. You have each added tremendously to this year preparation and training, which resulted in a successful 2010 show season thus far. Thank you!
Sponsorship
The Sport of Three-Day Eventing is among the most expensive of all Olympic sports because of the upkeep of live horses compared to the non-living equipment of other sports. Expenses include boarding, feeding, shoeing, veterinary, transportation, training, tack and equipment costs for each horse. Rider costs include transportation, food, lodging, lessons, equipment, and entry fees. Many international athletes rely on individual and corporate funding to relieve the tremendous financial burden. There are ways to sponsor and receive a tax deduction through the American Horse Trials Foundation www.ahtf3day.org, (a 501 c 3 dedicated to Eventers).
As a potential sponsor you can make a donation and receive a charitable tax deduction. Another reason is in order to market a name (private or business) to an elite audience. This can happen by a name being mentioned at awards ceremonies, over public address systems at events, in competition programs, in newspapers and magazines, on horse trailers, horse blankets and saddle pads, as well as display banners and products at showing events. The media coverage are responding to the growing spectator interest in horse sports. There is now major television coverage of the horse sports held throughout North America and Europe, especially the Olympics, Pan-American, and World Equestrian Games. There are hundreds of regional and national horse-related periodicals in which these magazines and newsletters report all levels of competitions. The inter net has allowed worldwide communication in real time for horse sports with information on competitions, horse products, boarding and breeding facilities, veterinary clinics, equine preparatory schools and universities, etc. Together these many media outlets create the potential for you and/or your business to make a valuable impression on the marketplace.
Matthias has currently been lucky to receive the support from two outstanding companies that he highly believes in. Triple Crown horse feed has been working with Matthias the last two years and has given each of his competition horses the complete dietary balance he requires both during and off the show season. Their high level of feed is what helps keep his horses in tip-top shape. Additionally, Matthias has just started working together with Macequine Ice Horse. Matthias has used this product for years and on a regular basis. At a show competition or after any hard work-out, whether it be jumping, conditioning gallop training, a more intense trail ride or dressage session, Matthias has always believed in the benefits of a good leg cool-down for which Ice Horse has been a regular part of his regime. There is almost not a day that Matthias does not leave the house with his cooler full of Ice Horse ice pads.

Triple Crown Complete is, the most thorough horse feed for high performance horses.
Thanks to Triple Crown Complete, in the past nine show seasons, I have never had the need to feed any added supplements to my horse Sandy Shoes whom I have competed from a Novice Level all the way to an International Advanced FEI Three Star Level in the high demanding discipline of Eventing.
My horses have always experienced a shiny coat, great hoof growth and excellent digestion. Triple Crown Complete’s formula has provided a balanced temperament for the Dressage test as well as the necessary energy for the following Cross Country. My horses have additionally experienced a relaxed well recovered physique for the Horse Inspection and a concentrated mind and physical energy on the final show jumping stage.
“More complete is not possible in a bag of horse feed”
The Triple Crown Training Formula gives my Horse the additional energy boost necessary for upcoming competitions.
The Triple Crown Grass Forage ensures me a consistent Quality Feed as an alternative to hay when I am on the road without the risk of changing the type and quality of the feed and the side effects of the various fertilizers and environments the Hay might be grown with, to also give my horse the comfort of his feed away from the home barn.
