Thank you so much for your interest in bringing valuable support to the 20th Anniversary of the Coconino Horse Trials, Flagstaff, AZ. We have a great year planned and hope you would like to be a part of the excitement!
The 2011 competition season once again promises to attract competitors and spectators from all over the western United States to compete in and watch the Olympic sport of 3-Day Eventing from Beginner to the more advanced Intermediate levels. This season offers three competitions; July 10 & 11, 2011, July 15-17, 2011 & September 17-18, 2011 and provides many opportunities for sponsorships and company recognition. Our goal is to create a fun, challenging competitive opportunity for our west coast competitors. The Summer Coconino Horse Trials I & II have become a destination event as competitors plan a year in advance to enjoy the Flagstaff fun.
This year boasts our 7th Annual “Coconino Challenge”. It is a fun and rewarding contest for competitors who ride in a minimum of 3 of 4 area competitions. At the end of the season, the horse and rider combination that has achieved the 3 lowest scores out of a total of four at each level wins for that level. Champions of each level will receive exciting prizes and regional recognition as will the sponsors of the challenge. Last year we awarded over $4000 in prizes to our division winners.
Once again we will feature the USEA Classic Training 3-Day, a USEA/USEF recognized event, at our third event in July. This was a great success last year with competitors coming from several states and over $1000 in prizes for our winners. The Classic Training 3-Day is an educational experience as well as a competitive one. The riders receive educational seminars before and during the event on how to best prepare for the Classic 3-Day Format. The competitors then compete in all three phases which includes the exciting “Steeplechase.” This offers even more opportunity for our sponsors to be recognized, as we expect competitors from CA, AZ, NM, NV, CO, UT, WY and Texas to participate in this year's challenge. Sponsorship for this special division is also available and we expect it to be very well attended.
The Summer Coconino II Horse Trials is honored to be hosting the 2011 Western Chronicle of the Horse Adult Team Championships. This national team competition boosts Adult Rider team spirit and is quite competitive.
We invite you to become involved in this exciting competition season. We have a flexible sponsorship program that allows you to market your company or products. By supporting the Coconino Horse Trials you help the organization grow and continue offering a high quality venue for its competitors.
Join us for one show or all three. It will be well worth it! We will be sure that your company will be graciously recognized for your generous support. Our first show is coming up quickly and we are looking forward to a great turnout of more than 600 competitors this season.
