Jumping Tour
2016 Sponsorship
Dear Friends,
The Split Rock Jumping Tour is revolutionizing the sport of show jumping in the
U.S. and with the 2016 season right around the corner, SRJT is looking forward
to providing sponsors with the opportunity for brand promotion, networking
and the thrill of watching some of the best horses and riders in the world.
So what makes the Split Rock Jumping Tour stand out?
In our inaugural year in 2015, SRJT raised the bar for the sport and has big plans
for the future. Hosting both the Lexington International and the Bourbon International CSI 3* shows at Split Rock Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, we saw Olympic caliber competitors from over 20 different countries and we welcomed
over 7,500 spectators. The positive and encouraging feedback has us excited for
what’s ahead.
SRJT customizes sponsor packages based on your specific marketing objectives.
We invite you to take a look at what we can offer and look forward to a year of
new friendships and memories!
Regards,
Derek Braun
Founder & President

“Split Rock Jumping Tour is fantastic, it’s giving a European feel to American show jumping. Here
you’ve got good food, parties, you’ve got atmosphere, you’ve got a sense of the organizer really
caring about the environment and the atmosphere that we jump in, so it’s a novelty for us.
I think it’s going to be very well-supported over the next few years, and I think Derek’s really
onto a winner.”
- Sharn Wordley
“The whole flow of the horse show is great - the ring feels intimate, so
when there’s people all around, you can really feel the excitement.
Everyone’s having the best time - it’s just been lovely.”
– Chris McCrea

“We went out of our way to be sure that we made it to the opening show at Split Rock, and we couldn’t
be happier with our experience here. The food and the VIP tent has just been top notch, and my
customers had an absolute blast. One of them was second, and was able to get up on the podium
- that just means so much to them, and it means so much to us as trainers and riders. They’ve set the bar
here, and the other shows are going to have to follow.”
