Crofton Manor Equestrian Centre Is one of the South’s premier venues offering the competitor an outstanding experience and a high quality service, and has become established as a centre of excellence and a forerunner in the equestrian world.
Our exciting future plans include a new indoor competition area for the 2012/2013 season when we will continue to run British Show Jumping Association and British Dressage affiliated competitions.
Crofton Manor Equestrian Centre offers:
- Excellent all weather surfaces for both competing & warm up
- Superb Indoor & Outdoor arenas
- Experienced, professional staff
- Large Lorry and car parking area on a hard surface close to the arenas
- Cafe restaurant area overlooking the main Indoor Arena
- Tack Shop
Our weekly shows regularly attract both amateur and professional riders from, Hampshire and Wiltshire, Gloucestershire,Sussex and surrounding areas. The premier shows and regional finals have attracted competitors from as far afield as the Channel Islands.
The centre benefits from visits from many professional riders; they 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 200 starters. Shows are sociable events with many competitors bring friends and family with them, further increasing the number of visitors to the site.
The Centre is ideally placed on the M27 corridor and this large and varied audience makes Crofton Manor an invaluable advertising opportunity for businesses wishing to invest in sponsorship.
How does sponsorship work?
Integrating your marketing message into sports through sponsorship is much more effective than straight advertising and builds an affinity with your targeted audience.
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 �
We produce and distribute at least 35000 – 40000 Dressage and show jumping schedules per season.
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.
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 dependent upon sponsorship being arranged before it goes to print).
Our results are listed in all the local equestrian magazines and also in Horse & Hound and on our website. 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 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.
