Sponsor a Dakota Showdown Special Award! At the Dakota Showdown Finale, it’s not just about competition — we’re also celebrating the personalities, quirks, and amazing transformations of every horse and trainer team.
This year, we’re giving out up to 30 special awards like:
Biggest Glow-Up Class Clown Most Likely to Steal Your Snacks King of the Side-Eye… and many more!
We’d love your help making these awards extra special for our trainers. You can sponsor an award by donating a $20 gift card — something to treat them for all their hard work! Think restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, or anywhere fun — or donate $20 toward the prize fund and we'll pick up a card!
Gift cards can be dropped off at the Showdown or mailed to:Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue
