Hello Horse Families,
The horse advisory committee is begin to work on planning shows the county but I wanted to get out some very important information prior to our clubs first horse meeting.
Each horse member who participates in the shows are suggested to obtain sponsorship to help offset costs for awards. You will want to start thinking now of what business, family members, etc that will be willing to sponsor your horse member.
I have included a link below to last years sponsorship packet for you to review. Sponsorship allows for a business to be advertised in the county horse programs.
In order to be eligible for county year end awards, and the State Horse Show this is a requirement and is due December 1st, 2021.
We will discuss this more at our Nov 11th horse project meeting, however I wanted you to have a heads up about it and being looking for sponsors.
I ENCOURAGE all horse families to follow the https://pinalhorse.blogspot.com/ county horse blog to keep up on all county horse happenings!! Even check out the tab forms (rulebook) so get your self familiar with the rules.
As a member of the Pinal County 4-H Horse Project, your assistance is needed in securing sponsors AND/OR donations for our 2021-2022 Pinal County 4-H Horsemanship Program. As most of you know, we include 4-H sponsors in the advertisement section of our 4-H Horse Show Books. These sponsors provide much needed financial support and help to make it possible to conduct our many activities in the County 4-H Horsemanship Program at a minimum cost.
The Pinal County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee endorses the sponsorship program. The suggested goal for each horse member is to provide a $100.00 in sponsorship for the 1st discipline , and $25 for each additional discipline they participate in.
Donation of items and/or cash is always accepted as an alternative to a printed advertisement. This option is considered a tax deductible donation and a receipt can be provided. **NOTE: When donors receive something in exchange for advertisements, their donations may NOT be considered tax deductible.
Sponsorship/donation packets are provided in the link above. In the packet there is a sponsor/donor letter (for the contributor to keep) and a summary sheet (to be sent back to the 4-H Office) with the sponsor’s advertisement and/or tax deductible donation. Checks must be payable to PINAL COUNTY 4-H HORSE ADVISORY. Sponsors do not have to be associated with the horse industry.
