At left, the traditional costume of a Portuguese Cavaliero is worn by Joao Serra Coelho, who is developing the new sport of bloodless bullfighting. The bull wears a velcro pad on his back and the mounted bullfight attaches flags to the bull, demonstrating the courage of his mount, the purebred Arabian stallion Jair Tamaal, and the skill of the cavaliero.

No sport is more all American than rodeo! At left is the Princess for the Clements Stampede, an annual event in Clements, CA. In 2004, this small town helped two little boys fighting brain cancer by appointing them Honorable Grand Marshals of the Stampede. The boys had a wonderful time, with visits before the event from the Pro Bull Riders Association, and both boys have continued on in Pee Wee Rodeo. The local tack store supplied western wear for the families of both boys, who proudly rode horses leading the parade into the stadium with their families. This group represents the very best of America.

The Rodeo and Bull Riding communities donate generously to charities as well as helping communities in need. For example, Pro Bull riders participated in rebuilding homes in the New Orleans area after Katrina. Pro Bull Riding enjoys an international audience with some of its most talented competitors coming from Argentina to the United States to compete. Pro Bull Riding is enjoying its own television series, and is one of the most exciting sports on TV.

Rodeo and Bull Riding offer your brand exposure on TV and in all areas of the United States, with internet and print publications. Truck companies are common sponsors as well as banks, insurance companies, agricultural groups and local schools.

This ad has run in many equestrian magazines, promoting the imported dressage stallion Rubignon. This farm is known for its jumping stallions; Rubignon is their first dressage stallion.

Dressage has become a hugely popular riding discipline in the US and recently the American Steffen Peters won the World Cup in April of 2009. Dressage is an Olympic event and enjoys competitors from countries all over the world.

Rolex sponsors the WEG games; this sport is especially appropriate for luxury products and prestige brands. This is the ideal time to participate in dressage as the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games will be held at Kentucky Horse Park in 2010. This is a perfect opportunity for international brands.
