🏆 At Maiden Holdings LLC, we believe memorable classes are built on more than just big payouts — they’re built on the moments people carry home with them. The ribbons, buckles, gifts, keepsakes, and championship memories all become part of the story.

For the 2026 Premiere, we worked hard to build a prize collection we are incredibly proud to showcase, and none of it would be possible without the incredible sponsors and vendors who helped bring it to life.

Thank you to every sponsor who invested in this class and every vendor who put their talent and craftsmanship into creating something worthy of these horses, riders, trainers, and owners. Your work helps elevate this event and makes these victories even more special.
