BGY SPONSORED young rider(s)
BGY Photography is sponsoring two young riders for the 2024 season in honor of Brooklyn Yingling (8/25/23).
The sponsorship is open to anyone 13 years or younger as of January 1st, 2024 (open to youth riders in that age requirement) and is actively competing at barrel races that BGY Photography is the official photographer. This sponsorship is to honor our girl by helping young riders in our community who may not have the opportunities that others are given. It's not a contest of who has the most followers or how much you win, it's all about loving the sport and your horse(s). We were looking for someone hard-working, but also someone who would be a positive light at shows whether they win or lose.
As Chris put it, we hate that we have a "memorial" sponsorship in the first place. I'm glad we have the opportunity to sponsor these riders, but I'd trade the world to not have to be in the position to award it at all. We should have a 5-month-old right now and it hurts every day to be reminded that Brooke isn't here with us.
If you'd like to learn more about why this sponsorship is so meaningful to us, you can read so on the blog. Just be warned it can be a bit of a tear-jerker.
The sponsored riders will receive:
All of their run photos OR run video(s) from every show that BGY Photography is the official photographer (a $5,800 value if purchased individually per show for all 20 shows)
- 15% off all physical products
- One FREE 1-hour portrait session (travel fees will apply when outside of 30 miles from Palmyra MO). Must be able to do the session on a weekday due to show schedule and must be used within 2024. It is the rider’s responsibility to schedule this.
- Priority on order delivery
Expectations for the sponsored rider:
- Tagging BGY Photography for photo credit and as a sponsor on all social media platforms whenever posting show and/or portrait photos and/or show results
- Resharing, at minimum, one BGY Photography post once per month during show season (March-October)
- Wearing a BGY Photography patch on any sponsored clothing (BGY Photography will provide the patch by 1st ICRP show of 2024)
- Representing BGY Photography publicly by promoting kindness, striving to improve as an individual, and sharing the love of barrel racing wherever they go.
