Brand Visibility Examples
See Your Brand in the Arena
Unlike static signage, branded jumps are sporting equipment in active use — photographed at every rally and seen by families across the Bellarine. Here is how your brand could appear at the club.
Showjumping Course
A rider clears a rail at a BHDPC rally. Principal and Arena Sponsors have their branding on jump wings like these, seen and photographed at every event.
Cross-Country Course
A rider over a timber cross-country fence on the club's course. XC obstacles like this offer a permanent, photographed feature for sponsor recognition.
Arena Set-Up
The arena being set up ahead of a rally day — this is where Arena Sponsor signage would sit, visible to every rider, family, and spectator throughout the day.
BHDPC riders in action across showjumping, cross-country, dressage, and mounted games — the moments your brand would be part of at every rally.
