FOUR WINDS RACING
Four Winds Racing has six potentially top class horses, produced by some of the leading stallions in Europe, all from its own in-house stud breeding programme - and has put together two fantastic sponsorship opportunities. With the majority of races being televised, racing represents a great opportunity for brand promotion and reinforcement. Combined with this, Four Winds Racing will endeavour to maximise coverage for any sponsor through all avenues available, off the back of their horse's success.

CHARIOTS OF FIRE DRIVING CENTRE
The Chariots of Fire Driving Centre is a carriage driving training centre based in a rural community in the Borders of Scotland. It is the only centre in the country bringing on children as young as three years into the sport, enabling them to compete at all levels. The centre works with disadvantaged youngsters, many of whom are either physically disabled, psychologically traumatised or have learning difficulties. They are given a safe environment with full one-to-one support where they can feel totally nurtured and able to bring out the best they have to give, often surprising themselves. The centre also works with adults who are either fresh to the sport or may have come to regain confidence after an accident or loss of nerve. The organisation would like to work in partnership with a sponsor to promote and expand these activities. In exchange, they can offer local and national media exposure; logos and advertising on their fleet of well-travelled competition and display team vehicles; facilities for company incentive schemes; and team building activities, etc. They need financial support for vehicles, ponies, equipment and products. Any sponsor would be working in association with a professional organisation that is well known for working within the community, creating opportunities for children and adults who might not otherwise be in a position to benefit from such resources.
