HOW Going To The Games!


The Haflinger Owners of Wisconsin is delighted to
announce that we have been invited to perform at the
2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.


As per the WEG website:

"The World Equestrian Games are comprised of the world championships for eight equestrian sports. The Games are held every four years, two years prior to the Olympic Games, and are governed by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI)."

This is without a doubt the biggest equestrian event in the world. It will be held for the first time on American soil in Lexington, Kentucky this fall.

HOW will be performing our Sound of Music act in the
Equine Village September 29 through October 2.

Our club will bring 16 horses and over 40 HOW members to the Games for the experience of a lifetime.

Become a HOW Sponsor

While this is an incredible opportunity, it is not without expense. We have calculated that it will take up to $30,000 for our 15 Haflingers and their partners to complete the WEG journey and performances. We are seeking sponsors to help with these expenses, as well as share our international exposure and spotlight in a venue of 700,000 spectators, 800 athletes, and 900 horses from 60 countries.

Your sponsorship would help us immensely and would also give you these WEG-provided benefits:

  • Banner in the performance coliseum
  • Recognition in the program
  • Gate passes
  • Formal introduction and thank you during our performances
  • Banner on our stalls
  • Link on the WEG website
In addition to these benefits, we will do everything we can to promote you as our sponsor, including recognition on our website, our newsletter, at any other events we attend, in any media attention we receive, and in The Haflinger Horse Magazine.

We truly hope that you will consider a partnership with HOW for the World Equestrian Games.

Please contact Haley Madden at happyhaffiehaley@gmail.com.

We are beyond excited and honored to have this opportunity! Check back for updates on the progress of our WEG preparations!
