Sponsorship Opportunities
Heard Event Team Individual Sponsor
Monetary donations can be made either directly to Lillian J Heard Eventing or through the American Horse Trials Foundation. Please see below for details about your tax-free monetary donation through AHTF. These funds will be used to offset the cost of equine upkeep, top veterinary care, and competition costs.
Goods and Services Sponsorship
Product and service donations and product sponsorships are welcome. Lillian competes in all of the top events along with a host of other riders and spectators. Businesses will receive top exposure, and Lillian will help promote her use of their products to a wide audience. Contact Lillian with your ideas.
Horse Ownership or Syndication
Lillian is constantly on the lookout for her equine athlete partner that can be developed into an Olympian. She would love to have your help in this search. Highly talented, excellent quality horses are hard to come by and expensive. If you are interested to be a partner in this exciting quest, please contact Lillian. You can be an active member of her team!
American Horse Trials Foundation
The American Horse Trials Foundation is a non-profit corporation established to assist Three Day Event Riders and Organizers in raising tax deductible financial support for national and international competition. Eventing is one of three Olympic Equestrian sports, with its origins in cavalry training — combining the very diverse disciplines of dressage, cross-country riding and show jumping.
Riders who are bona fide national or international level competitors are eligible to apply for grants from the American Horse Trials Foundation to further their preparation for Olympic or World Championship competition. In 1990 the American Horse Trials Foundation expanded its program to include grants for Horse Trials that offer competition at the preliminary level or above. Additionally, the program includes grants for qualified Young Riders and Riders competing in the Show Jumping, Dressage and Endurance disciplines.
If you would like to assist equestrian athletes, or are a rider or organizer needing financial support, contact the Foundation today.
The American Horse Trials Foundation has been granted tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law. Donations should be directed to the American Horse Trials Foundation, Inc.
