[RC] Sponsorship thoughts - Wendy Mancini

    Just some ramblings from a Tevis wanna be.  Some day - it's a plan.  Any how, I think the question of "where were the American companies?" is a dam good question.  As trails & lands that have been traveled by horses for hundreds of years are being closed off to riders where is the support from US companies?  The more I think about it the more irritated I become.  
    Maybe all ride managers should look for sponsors, even if they are small, local companies that know nothing about endurance.  We should educate them.  The "big" rides, like Tevis, should actively seek sponsorship from "big" companies.  How about the makers of Gator Aid?  Lots of rides get sponsorship from our tack dealers & that's great but maybe we should be "thinking bigger".  (I hate to say this, "thinking out of the box".)
    It doesn't hurt to ask.
    Just a thought.
