Equestrian Sport Sponsors Exchange

PROGRAM

THE EQUESTRIAN SPORT SPONSORS EXCHANGE brings together equestrian groups with sponsors who wish to participate in the $39 billion US horse industry.

The program is owned and operated by IRENE DEEM CREATIVE SERVICES, promoting pubic interest in equestrian sport. ESSE serves both professional and amateur events, including non competitive recreational riding. Irene operates a professional equine photography and graphics business in Northern California, serving all breeds and riding disciplines. Irene learned to ride as a child with Mr. Morgan at the St. Francis Riding Academy in San Francisco - a wonderful childhood experience Irene would like to see children enjoy today. She is retired from a 25 year career in clinical medical trials, enabling her to understand the needs of both non profits and equestrian groups. The most successful horse shows are those which broaden their base of community support by supporting worthwhile charities, providing financial and social benefits to all participants.

MISSION STATEMENT: The Equestrian Sport Sponsors Exchange seeks to bring together sponsors, equestrian event planners and individuals in an environment which encourages good sportsmanship and love of horses for their mutual benefit.
