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.

Award

Dear Rio Vista Products,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sponsoring the Reserve Champion Award. I have worked very hard with my horse to achieve this award and really appreciate the wonderful gifts you donated.
On a tragic note on Saturday my horse and I won horsemanship, 2nd in trail, 3rd in Showmanship and on Monday he showed symptoms of West Nile Virus. He died Sunday after a long battle. I lost my best friend and will treasure your award forever.

Thank you,

Thank you again for your support and we look forward to working with Rio Vista again.
