At Rio Vista, we have an ongoing commitment to support events in the horse and dog worlds. It's our way of saying "thanks" for supporting our products. Needless to say, every month we receive a high volume of requests for donations and sponsorships and are unable to process some of them due to inadequate information. If you would like Rio Vista to consider your club for a sponsorship, please inform us at least 90 days in advance of your event.
