Sponsor Info

A sponsor can be an individual, a group, an organization, a doctor, a lawyer, a neighborhood, school, hospital, or church. Possibilities are endless.
Each sponsor gets:
1. His/Her or business name on an engraved metal plaque on the base of the painted horse, with the name of the design and the artist's name
2. His name listed in the map/pamphlet.
3. His name listed in all publications.
4. His painted horse with name, artist, and sponsor will be shown in the GCHS program
5. A proclamation from the Mayor showing community pride and support
6. His name listed in news paper articles
7. Four tickets to the auction
8. Twenty tickets to the Germantown Charity Horse Show, June 10-14, 2008
9. Listed on our website - with his business "linking" to our website.
10. The sponsor can choose the location of the horse, within the DRC's guidelines.



The sponsors and selected artists will attend an adoption party (or unpainted horse party) where the sponsor selects a design and meets his artist.

Every artist's concept must pass the jury's selection. If we have twenty sponsors, the jury will select thirty designs. The night of the adoption party, the twenty sponsors will choose the twenty designs they want. The remaining designs will be available to any late sponsors. A late sponsor may not get his name in all the publications.

As a "The Horses Are Coming!" sponsor, you will get the opportunity to highlight your commitment to our community and our horse heritage. You will also be a part of the largest, high-profile arts event in our community. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that your support will help provide significant funding to the Germantown Charity Horse Show.

All sponsors should obtain an insurance rider on their existing policy to cover liability for the painted horse. The usual cost of this rider is no more that $50. The policy should cover liability and damage up to $1,000,000 and should extend from the time your artist picks up your unpainted horse until the live auction.
