Interested in Sponsoring or Hosting an Event or MeetUp?
HorseGrooms welcomes companies, businesses, organizations, and other industry partners interested in hosting or collaborating on an online event or in-person HorseGrooms MeetUp.
The most important requirement is simple: every HorseGrooms event must offer something interesting, informative, or educational for grooms and equine caretakers. Events should provide real value to the people caring for horses and cannot be purely promotional.
If your main goal is to promote your company, service, or product, HorseGrooms also offers other sponsorship and advertising opportunities across our website, podcast, social media, newsletters, guides, and other platforms.
