Investment & Sponsorship Opportunities

"The equestrian community is comprised of people who are generally well-educated and have a large disposable income"

Show Jumping Overview

Show Jumping is a very expensive sport and, like all other Olympic Events, most athletes cannot make it to the International Level without the help of valuable Sponsors and/or Investors.

Thankfully, the prize money offered at the higher levels of competition is quite substantial and the international recognition given to sponsors makes investing in athletes quite rewarding.

We are seeking the support of Investors and/or Sponsors in order to work our way up to the Olympic level. The investment would be used to acquire, train, care for, and compete horses we have chosen and believe have the ability to be successful at the Grand Prix level, both Nationally and Internationally. Santerre Show Stables is looking for a Sponsor who wishes to represent Canada at the Olympics in the near future.

In addition to supporting an athlete, investing in an elite sport such as show jumping creates many excellent opportunities to broaden networks in a higher class community who are known to be "... well-educated and have a large disposable income" (USEF demographic study).

Benefits of Investing in Show Jumping

The horses invested in will compete at major shows for an average of 20 weeks per year.
