Without Sponsorship, competing would be impossible. I am extremely fortunate to have some fantastic sponsors, however more help is needed and if you feel that you could assist me, then please look at the details of How to Sponsor, further down this page.
But first I would like to thank the following .....
Ingatestone Saddlery Centre supports dressage rider Zoe Cain in her bid to ride for Great Britain at the London 2012 Paralympics. Directors, Lynda and Barrie Mortlock are supporting Zoe with her riding equipment. They also allow her to use the outdoor school at Ingatestone
Leslie Scobie and Family - New Zealand
Leslie was instrumental in sourcing many of Zoe's current sponsors and support during her visit back to the UK in 2007. Zoe met the Scobie family through her teaching when she trained Emma Scobie and her horse Warriors Taz. With Zoe's help Emma took Taz from a wobbly gangly cob, to an all round competition horse. Zoe, Leslie and Emma worked closley with several horses over the years, and Cardigan Jackdaw's keep in 2006 was sponsored by the Scobie family at their livery yard when they were based in England. Even though they are now based half way round the world, Leslie still supports Zoe in her ambitions to reach 2012.
Car Capital continue to assist with travel and supporting Zoe wherever possible. Including helping with the set up of this website.

Both Jacqui Jelf and Linda Farnell, have supported Zoe in her plight to reach the top level. Their recent set up of Braintree Riding Club has allowed Zoe to support them and offer top level instruction to novice and returning riders, their clinics offering Zoe as the instructor are proving extremely popular!
How to sponsor Zoë....
As any one who has kept a horse will know the bills are huge, and when wishing to compete at the highest level, those costs escalate.
Some examples of the costs are:
To enter a day’s competition, the entry fees and fuel costs can be as much as £80.
To pay for 1 hours training costs £42, and travel costs of £30.
A two day competition costs from £200, including entry and stabling fees.
To keep and run a horsebox for a year costs in excess of £600, not including ad lib repairs and the fuel!
Keeping one horse for competition will cost in excess of £2,000 per year. (Without livery/stabling costs)
Hire of an arena at least four times a week to practice can be as much as £100.
Zoë is training towards an International competitions and a single trip including horse registration is expected to be around £3,000.
As a sponsor, you can choose from any of the following options: (Everything is very gratefully received)
Donation of money
Donation specifically towards entry fees, travel, horse costs etc..
Equipment
Anything else that we haven't thought of and you can offer?
Most Importantly in return Zoë offers:

Ability to fully sponsor a horse, giving great exposure!
