SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE

WELCOME The Mane Event is a family owned enterprise that has been in business since 2004 when the first Mane Event, Equine Education and Trade Fair was held at Heritage Park in Chilliwack, BC. What originally started as a small event has grown incredibly to three large expos. These expos in Chilliwack, BC; Red Deer, AB and Scottsdale, AZ attract horse enthusiasts from all over North America. The objective of the Mane Event is to encourage riders and horse owners to expand their knowledge and maybe even try a new discipline. The Mane Event has become Canada s largest horse exposition. Because of the overwhelming support from our sponsors, exhibitors and attendees we have added a new show - Scottsdale, AZ. Investing in our sponsorship programs ensures that you will maximize your exposure to the attendees and followers of the Mane Event. The expo has thousands of dedicated equine followers that travel vast distances to attend, learn, shop and enjoy what is available at the show. We advertise in multiple horse, rodeo and ranch publications, newspapers, radio stations, distribute posters, flyers, postcards, send out direct mailers, and as a sponsor you can benefit from all of this marketing to increase your company s exposure. The Mane Event is dedicated to reinvesting all sponsorship monies back into our advertising and promotions campaign to continue to increase the exposure of our event to tens of thousands of equine enthusiasts locally and nationally. Sponsorship of the Mane Event is much more than a wise investment for your company - it s an opportunity to support an event with an outstanding track record and a strong commitment to serving the needs of horse people and the horse industry. Clinicians and Trainers We have had the pleasure to work with many of the top trainers and clinicians from Canada, the US and Australia. We offer clinics, demos and presentations on a large variety of equine disciplines including Reining, Jumping, Dressage, Driving, Horsemanship, Barrel Racing and a colt starting competition The Trainers Challenge on a regular basis. Sometimes we also add in Gaited Horses, Western Dressage, Back Country Horsemanship to change things up. Vendors Our vendors come from all across Canada and the United States, and we have also even welcomed exhibitors from Europe. The trade show exhibitors offer a multitude of exhibits including some of the best shopping for you and your horse with everything from bits, boots and hats to tack and trailers, as well as, equine health information, breed information, trainers, equine associations and riding associations and clubs.
