INTRODUCTION
A child sits taller in the saddle. A veteran finds calm again. A family discovers hope.
These moments happen every day at Jackson Hole Therapeutic Riding — and Stomping the Divots makes them possible.
Stomping the Divots is more than a summer social event — it is a signature Jackson Hole tradition that brings together community leaders, philanthropists, and families in support of Jackson Hole Therapeutic Riding.
This highly anticipated event sells out each year and serves as the organization’s most important annual fundraiser.
Sponsors do more than promote their brand — they demonstrate leadership, reinvest in the wellbeing of our community, and align with a cause that transforms lives.
As a sponsor, your brand gains visibility with an engaged, influential audience that values quality, authenticity, and meaningful experiences. From polo enthusiasts to local decision-makers, from philanthropic families to seasonal residents, this event provides access to a demographic that responds to brands that give back.
Through your support, you help raise the funds that make JHTR’s programs possible — empowering children, adults, veterans, and families through the healing power of horses.
