Why be a WHS Sponsor?

Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to be part of a place and event rich in the history of the VIrginia Piedmont, the Town of Warrenton and the equine industry.  And it provides a way to bring your message to a highly-engaged audience within a captivating, family-friendly atmosphere.

Here is why you should consider becoming a sponsor of the Warrenton Horse Show (WHS):

  • It is a key venue for show hunters, jumpers, breeders, fox hunters, professionals, juniors, amateurs, horses and ponies. The show showcases numerous breeds... Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, Cleveland Bays, Irish Draught and others. Something for every horse lover, and Virginian’s love horses!

  • The WHS is recognized as one of the few ‘Heritage Competitions’ by the US Equestrian Federation (USEF). This designation is reserved for competitions that have been in existence for a quarter-century or more, promoted and grown equestrian sport, and made contributions to the community outside the gates of the horse show by achieving, maintaining, and promoting the equestrian ideals of sportsmanship and competition.

  • Warrenton’s fun, family-friendly show attracts people from across Virginia, the broader DMV area and across the mid Atlantic.

  • In 2025, the WHS was nominated one of the top four horse shows by the Virginia Horse Show Association.

  • Horse sport enthusiasts are members of a highly influential demographic. They are well educated, have ample disposable income and the time to pursue their passions, making them an ideal target group for businesses of all sizes seeking an upscale market.

  • The historic WHS show grounds are easily accessible from major roads while being a short walk to the beautiful Old Town area of Warrenton, full of quaint shops and a variety of restaurants, bars, and breweries.

  • Hospitality is a WHS priority. We want you to enjoy being part of our show family and to enjoy the show!
