Alliant Private Client, a division of Alliant Insurance Services, announces its commitment as the exclusive insurance broker partner of the 2026 Autumn Invitational, featuring Discovery Land Company Masters, The Highlands Cup and Bridlemont Concours, taking place through October 11 at Highlands, the renowned destination for exceptional equestrian competition, art, automotive culture, cuisine, and philanthropy. Alliant Private Client will also serve as title sponsor of The Gallery at Highlands, a rotating exhibition space featuring contemporary painting, photography, sculpture and collectible design.
The partnership brings together a community whose passions reflect the breadth of Alliant Private Client’s expertise–from horses and equestrian properties to homes, fine art, and collector cars. Through its dedicated Equine, Farm & Ranch practice and broader personal insurance capabilities, Alliant Private Client helps individuals and families protect the lives they have built, within and beyond the equestrian ring.
“It’s a privilege to support the owners, riders, trainers, partners, and enthusiasts who make the equine community so special,” said Joe Norick, Alliant Private Client Executive Vice President and lead of the Equine, Farm & Ranch practice. “As a lifelong equestrian, I understand how much dedication goes into this way of life. We bring that same dedication to helping our clients protect their equestrian pursuits and the lives they’ve built beyond the ring.”
In addition to competition and hospitality, Highlands distinguishes itself through initiatives like the Highlands Charity Challenge, which supports nonprofit organizations and community investment while promoting equine welfare and preserving open space.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to understanding our clients beyond their insurance needs, including the passions, pursuits, and communities that mean the most to them,” said Cindy Zobian, Executive Vice President, Managing Director, Alliant Private Client.
“Alliant Private Client’s involvement further extends the impact and reach of this collection of events. Highlands was built to bring together the very best in equestrian sport, art, automotive culture, and philanthropy, and Alliant Private Client shares that same commitment to excellence,” said Pedro Torres, Principal and CEO of Highlands. “Their deep expertise across equine, fine art, and collector car insurance makes them the ideal partner as we welcome riders, collectors, and enthusiasts from around the world to this year’s Autumn Invitational.”
