Triple Crown Sponsorship Update!

TRIPLE CROWN NUTRITION 2018 SPONSORSHIP NEWS! We are excited to share that Triple Crown Nutrition will be expanding their sponsorship of the APA and polocrosse in 2018. The new program will include Triple Crown’s ongoing support of the APA and various local tournaments (e.g., awards, raffles, club sponsorships), a mail-in rebate program that is open to all APA members to fund polocrosse development in your club, and an exclusive sponsorship for the APA Nationals Tournament in Harvest, AL, in 2018. This is terrific news and we are excited and grateful for Triple Crown’s continued investment in polocrosse! Triple Crown is a performance equine feed company that has been supplying its specialized feeds to the top horses across equine disciplines for over 25 years. Triple Crown feeds are unlike any other product line and are designed to address your concerns about proper equine nutrition and its benefits. Triple Crown feeds will maintain your horse’s high-performance level and keep your horse healthy and in supreme condition. New in 2018: Triple Crown has a new partnership with Purina Mills: In late 2017 Triple Crown entered a manufacturing and distribution agreement with Purina Mills for the eastern US, allowing Triple Crown to partner with Purina’s distribution network and making Triple Crown available in select Purina dealers in the eastern US. Triple Crown Feeds are still available at many independently owned dealers as well as Southern States stores and managed co-ops. In addition, Triple Crown still has a manufacturing and distribution agreement with Blue Seal on the east coast. Collectively, these options dramatically increase Triple Crown’s availability and distribution in the eastern U.S. Learn more about the agreement and get answers to many of your questions by visiting this FAQ: https://www.triplecrownfeed.com/consumerFAQ/ This is a great opportunity for more APA members to use Triple Crown Feeds and participate in the incredible mail-in rebate program to support your polocrosse club.

FREE Nutrition Consultation with Triple Crown for APA Members: Do you have questions regarding your horse’s nutritional needs? Each APA member is eligible for personal consultation on his or her horse’s feeding program by contacting Triple Crown. You can visit www.triplecrownfeed.com or contact Triple Crown’s Customer Service at 1-800-451-9916 to answer any of your questions regarding their feeds and your horse’s care. Triple Crown Tournament Sponsorships: Triple Crown will continue their sponsorship of the MN Polocrosse Club and will be offering BEST HORSE awards, and FREE product raffles at 4 preselected tournaments in 2018. All of this is to get the word out on Triple Crown Nutrition’s performance feeds. Specific Tournament sponsorships are being managed by the Minnesota Polocrosse Club. All and any inquiries regarding Triple Crown sponsorships should be directed to David Finch at finchd4885@gmail.com Please do not contact or solicit Triple Crown directly. Triple Crown will be the exclusive brand and feed sponsor of the Nationals Tournament. They are providing a field side tent for the tournament, advertising in various tournament and APA media, FREE product raffles and other promotions on-site. Is Your Club Participating in the Mail-in Rebate Program? The goal of the program is to increase trial and consumption of Triple Crown feeds and, at the same time, increase the amount of funds individual polocrosse clubs have to promote the sport. Funds can be used to purchase equipment, fund tournaments, awards, events, clinics, etc. No rebate money will be issued to individuals. Funds only go to established and recognized clubs or sanctioned APA tournaments. This is a great way to fund the development and promotion of our sport. How can we have an impact on our new sponsor Triple Crown? By purchasing their 50lb feed products and telling great stories about our polocrosse horses using Triple Crown on their social media sites(e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). “Before” and “After” pictures are great!
