Fabulous that you guys got up to walk/trot. I did too at an Open show. Dead last but we had fun. I am timid, I admit it and I love the safe show for the walk and walk/trot options. I will do intro in dressage. And probably forget the test!
I will make a list and start calling. Thank goodness for unlimited calling plans! If someone wants to email me the info that I can send on after I call that would be great - when it is ready.
Now I will get my thinking cap on. Has someone already talked to Reber? I can, I know a few of the people although I am not sure how much in the donation area they can do - I can ask. Has the Gift horse and Olsen/Mills been contacted? Local dressage trainers for Gift Certs for lessons for auction things? What is the format? I can't remember - I know we have sponsorships, but then was there a raffle table or auction or both?

Jaybird - Smartpak does sponsorships - but to make their 8 week deadline you need to fill out the info today I believe as it is the 7th. I don't know the info requested, but it is a simple questionaire on their website www.smartpakequine.com/Sponsorship.aspxI will keep brainstorming. |

This may be a weird question and maybe I missed it somewhere but by any chance is there a paypal account set up for Sponsorships? If not, could there be one and perhaps a post that people could link to on Facebook? :-)
Personally I'd be happy to pitch in $50 to sponsor and I'll also be able to give several $50 and $100 custom framing gift certificates from my company.

Unfortunately, I filled this out back in April and as of yet have had no response from Smartpak. There were a few others I did as well....no bites.  |

Hey has anyone tried contacting these guys for sponsorship? Looks like they do Allegra horse feed. We use quite a bit of that, and they're fairly local. If no one else has done it, I can. Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC 13231 SE 36th Street Suite 130 Bellevue, WA 98006 1-800-457-2804 www.allegrahorse.cometa: We=SAFE |

Crystal, that is a fabulous idea. We do use TONS of their feed. Would you please contact them and see if they'd be interested??
