Invest in Education: Sponsorship for Our Year-Round Events

Throughout the year, we host six valuable educational events tailored for Cloverbuds, Juniors, and Seniors. These programs do more than teach horsemanship—they instill leadership, responsibility, and teamwork.

Your generous contribution directly fuels this mission by:

Providing awards and recognition for deserving participants.

Funding essential national team travel experiences.

Covering the operational costs of hosting these impactful clinics and contests.

We offer a range of flexible sponsorship levels, making it easy for you to find the perfect way to support our young members.

Save the Date! The pinnacle event of our year, the NC 4-H State Horse Show, will be held once again at the James B. Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh from July 8-12, 2026.

Exhibitor Sponsorship Incentive is Back!

We are excited to bring back our popular incentive program! 4-H'ers who actively secure sponsorships and submit the funds along with their official State Show Entry form will receive an incredible 20% discount on their total show bill. This encourages ownership and offsets the cost of participation!

Explore the diverse ways you can lend your support to the State Show, from Division and Reserve Champion awards to becoming a Major Show Sponsor. Higher-level support includes the choice between a prime advertisement in the show program or dedicated indoor vendor space to showcase your business or organization.
