BE AN EQUINE PROGRAM SPONSOR
If you
are interested in any of these levels of sponsorship, or
have any ideas you would like for us to consider, please
contact us.
 Sponsorship Levels
The University of Arkansas Equine Program is dependent
on donations for the care and up keep of it’s horses.
The horses are used to allow the students in the program
to have ‘hands on’ experience, and to apply what they
have learned in the classroom. The students learn how to
properly and safely groom and handle horses, as well as
gain experience breeding, foaling, breaking and training
horses of various ages and breeds. In addition, the
Equine Center offers seminars in numerous horse related
topics. We are very grateful for any donations that are
received. All donations are tax deductible. The Equine
Department receives the proceeds from a number of annual
activities that are held at the Pauline Whitaker Arena,
located adjacent to the Equine Center. The activities
include the Equine Center’s Annual Horse Festival, the
annual Ozark Charity Horse Festival, the Annual
Razorback Roundup Horse Sale, and the bi-annual Horse
Lovers’ Day Camp as well as numerous educational
seminars and expositions. Below is a list of the various
levels of sponsorship that are available for
individuals, or companies. Please keep us in mind if you
would be interested in any of these sponsorships.
The Nettleship Society
Mae
Nettleship has been involved in the horse industry in
Northwest Arkansas for many years. She is a human
pathologist, and was one of the first women physicians
that graduated of John’s Hopkins University. Mrs.
Nettleship’s generous donations have allowed us to get
the Equine Center up and running! The Nettleship Society
entails donating $1,000.00 per year for five years. For
this generous donation, members are given a chair in the
arena with their name, VIP parking, and free entrance to
all equine events held at the arena. There is a yearly
dinner and meeting at one of the grandest homes in the
area!

Gold Sponsor
A donation of
$1,000.00 per year enables a company to become a gold
sponsor. The company can then be allowed to advertise
during the Horse Festival (anticipated attendance in
2001 - 4,000 +) in the arena lobby, and can have it’s
banner prominently displayed at all horse events held in
the Pauline Whitaker Arena. In addition, a gold sponsor
will receive acknowledgment as a Sponsor on the Equine
Center’s web page, and in our news letters (circulation
is 2,000 + horse enthusiasts of all persuasions from
Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas).
Sponsorship will show up in many other places as well --
on the placard that we display at Horse Council events,
etc. We have a limited amount of spaces available!

Silver Sponsor
A donation of
$750.00 per year enables a company to obtain the same
privileges as a gold sponsor, with one exception. A
vendor’s booth, instead of an area in the lobby, will be
available for your use at the Horse Festival. We will
list your company as a sponsor at all of our events, and
in all of our publications as well!

Seminar or Lecture Sponsor
Any individuals or
companies that wish to either help sponsor a seminar, or
provide a knowledgeable lecturer would be greatly
appreciated. This year we hosted a very successful
Reproduction Seminar which we plan to make a yearly
event. We have received interest from the community for
holding various seminars in the future - topics will
include Sale and Show Preparation, Foaling, Equine
Nutrition, Herd Health, and various forms of training
techniques, to mention a few. Our goal is to host
seminars with cutting edge information to best help the
students, as well as people in our 4-State area to care
for their horses.
