Combined driving is the fastest growing equestrian sport in the country both in terms of the number of participants and event attendance. An offshoot of ridden three-day eventing, it features the elegance of dressage, the excitement of cross-country and an intricate test of skill and precision in the cones arena.

As a sponsorship vehicle, combined driving reaches an affluent, upwardly-mobile marked segment that is passionately loyal to products and services that support their equestrian interests. Team Wind Chase has incorporated the key elements of the sport of combined driving into a sponsorship program that provides a competitive vehicle for effective marketing.
