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

29571 419th Ave

Scotland, SD 57059

 

Or make a quick donation here: https://givebutter.com/c/2025dakotashowdown (add “Award Sponsor” in the note!)

Let’s show these trainers how much we appreciate their dedication — and have a little fun along the way!
