Sponsorship Information
Why sponsor at Patchetts?
Patchetts Equestrian Centre began running British Show Jumping Association affiliated competitions in 1996 and has become established as a centre of excellence and a forerunner in the equestrian world. Patchetts offers the competitor an outstanding service, including
· Excellent all weather surfaces for both competing & warm up
· Superb Indoor & Outdoor arenas
· Experienced, professional staff
· Club House restaurant and licensed bar and exclusive hospitality area overlooking the main Indoor Arena
· Comprehensive Tack Shop
With so much to offer, Patchetts has received awards from the BSJA for services to the industry, and the centre is regularly granted prestigious competitions.
Our weekly shows regularly attract both amateur and professional riders from London, the Home Counties, East Anglia and also Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Sussex, Hampshire and Wiltshire. Whilst premier shows and regional finals have attracted competitors from as far afield as Scotland, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Many professional riders are accompanied to shows by the horses’ owners or sponsors, who are quite often business owners themselves. Last year, the average attendance at show jumping competitions was 150 starters. Shows are sociable events, many competitors bring friends and family with them, further increasing the number of visitors to each show.
Together with the Centre's ideal location, this large and varied audience makes Patchetts an invaluable advertising opportunity for businesses wishing to invest in sponsorship.

How does sponsorship work?
Sponsorship money invested by businesses, goes directly towards the prize fund and running costs for the relevant class or series of classes. Sponsorship packages are very flexible and can be arranged to meet your own individual requirements. You may choose to sponsor a single prestigious class at the annual Premier Show, or a series of classes for our regular competitors over a 6 month season, culminating with your own championship show.
What are the benefits?
Delivering your message …
A
ll rosettes awarded will feature your logo and/or wording of your choice and can be produced in your choice of colours. If sponsoring a series, you may like to consider championship sashes or trophies for the finalists, all of which we will be happy to organise and can be included in your package.
We produce and distribute at least 1,500 show jumping schedules per season. Your sponsored classes will feature your company name and details, and depending upon your level of sponsorship, the schedule can include an additional advertisement and/or logo on the front cover (inclusion in the schedule is dependant upon sponsorship being arranged before it goes to print). Our results are listed in all the local equestrian magazines and also in Horse & Hound. Some of these publications also place the results on their websites and whenever mentioned, your class would be prefixed with your company name. We will also provide a link from our website to yours.
The more prestigious shows such as the Development Classic are always featured in Horse & Hound and sponsors have benefited from the national exposure that this coverage provides.
At the shows, your company banner (provided by yourselves) can be hung in the main competition arena and the commentator will announce your company profile. We can also display literature at the show secretary’s box or provide space for your trade stand. Corporate hospitality can also be arranged in advance.
