About Eventing: Eventing is an equestrian triathlon, incorporating dressage, cross country and show jumping at a 3 day competition. The average eventing participant earns $80,000 to $150,000 and is female according to the US Eventing web site ( http://useventing.com/). Eventing is an Olympic event, and the show circuits attract an affluent, well educated audience who are consumers of a broad range of products and services, not limited to their equestrian interests. 3 Day Events frequently partner with non profits for fund raising in areas such as health care. 3 Day Events enjoy local and national brand sponsors in a broad range of prices from $500 up. Typical 3 Day Event sponsors include car and truck sales, insurance, banking, law, jewelry, luggage, real estate, travel, food, beverage. Rolex is a prime example of a 3 Day Event Sponsor. Exposure extends through the pre, during and post event period and frequently beyond as participants and audience members check show records and review past events in magazines, show programs, TV and internet. Participants are loyal to the sponsor brands.

As a competitor, Tilly can exhibit your branding at shows by hanging a banner on her barn, on the back of her trailer as she travels, and on clothing and horse gear. She can also suggest program ads, event sponsorships, magazine, web and TV advertising opportunities in her circuits.
