USEA Sanctioned Apple Knoll Farm Horse Trials Sponsorship Opportunities
Did You Know?
Greetings from Apple Knoll Farm:
The USEA Apple Knoll Farm Horse Trials is a United States Eventing Association sanctioned three-phase equestrian event, for amateur and professional (open) riders and their horses. The three phases include dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping. All phases are completed in one day. Competitors are judged/scored in each phase and given a cumulative score at the completion of all three phases. The best cumulative score wins.
Divisions include: Open Training, Open Novice, Open Beginner Novice.
Apple Knoll Farm, in Millis, Massachusetts, is the state’s premier equestrian facility, with sophisticated stabling, professional management, 300 acres of woodland, pasture, trails, schooling and sanctioned cross country courses, indoor arena and four outdoor jumping and/or dressage arenas.
A new cross-country course, designed and built by international course designer Noll Smith, was used for the first time at the 2006 Apple Knoll Farm Horse Trials. The challenging course received accolades from both riders and spectators.
Competitors from New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania and New Jersey attend the Apple Knoll Farm Horse Trials. These competitors are athletes dedicated to equestrian sport and owners of one or multiple horses. Many competitors own their own trailers, trucks, sport utility vehicles, homes and farms.
The majority of spectators are from the Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire areas. Spectators range in age from young children accompanied by parents to adults age 21-65. Spectators are well-educated, own single family houses and farms, possess high disposable income and are generally high net worth individuals.
Other spectators and equestrian staff accompany competitors on a regular basis.
Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels and costs. Sponsorships are available for the AKF Horse Trials exclusively, or for the AKF Horse Trials in combination with other AKF summer horse shows.
Due to the overwhelming success of the 2007 event, a portion of the 2008 proceeds will help benefit Massachusetts
4-H Foundation. These funds help pay for the innovative programs that teach youth valuable life skills in areas such as leadership, public speaking, teamwork, citizenship, safety, volunteerism, health and much more. Sponsors will be contributing to the dreams and potential of thousands of young people. More about 4-H ...
Here’s to great sport,
