Advertise your business to a market that is loyal to products and services that support their equestrian interests

Advertise your business to a market segment that is passionately loyal to products and services that support their equestrian interests. Shaun Myers is seeking individual, family and corporate sponsorships to support the dream of competing at the national and international level.
Your financial support is a key part of the achievement of these dreams. American Equestrian Athletes rely on individual and corporate funding to relieve the financial strains of Competition. There is currently no government or major organized funding for equestrian athletes up to the Olympic level. Competing a horse at the national and international level requires many financial investments. Not only the care, training and transportation of the horses but for the rider as well. Equestrian Athletes continually struggle to keep themselves in the utmost physical shape. The health and comfort for the horse is equally important as the health and comfort for its rider. Your generous sponsorship of will aid Shaun in achieving the dream of national and international competition.
There is a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities available through SKM Dressage, including product endorsements, horse ownership campaigning and equipment/product donations.

Here are some of the benefits you will receive when supporting SKM Dressage.
SKM Dressage will be happy to work with you to develop a sponsorship package that will be unique to your business needs.

Donations of Goods and Services
Unlike other sports, which only involve the human athlete, equipping horse and rider for national and international competitions is an ongoing and financially daunting proposition. Tack and other equipment, feed and supplements, transportation, even office supplies...the list is endless. The SKM Dressage team would be happy to promote your brand/product/service in exchange for the use of a product/service that you provide. Not sure if we can use what you have to offer? You never know! Contact us and set up a meeting to determine how we can help each other out!

Investment Horse
With the help of Shaun and her talent for spotting future stars an investment horse can be purchased by the investor/owner. Shaun will bring the horse into her training program and competes and markets them at an appropriate level. You, as the investor/owner, are responsible for all out of pocket expenses, including board, shoeing, vet work, competition costs, etc. Upon sale of the horse, after all costs paid by the investor/owner are recovered, the profit is split as agreed upon between the investor/owner and the trainer/owner.

Private Contributions
Monetary contributions of any amount can be made directly and will be used to pay for travel expenses, entry fees, horse care, and equipment. 100% of your donation will go directly to competition-related expenses.
