Search for 'America’s Next Dressage Star' to Become a Television Reality Show

Lights, Cameras, Action in Wellington this October

The contracts are in place, and the location is being established in Wellington, where 9 applicants 28 years and younger will be selected by a panel of judges, from application packages that include a video of them riding, and a brief video biography including a statement of why the selection committee should choose them.

"I am extremely excited to see how what was originally a way for me to run a talent search and give one or two gifted young people some special attention, has evolved into fully fledged reality show." Dover told DressageDaily. "I can't think of a better way to find and help young, talented riders while bringing horse sports into the homes of people across America so they can see how fun and exciting it can be. This evolution is absolutely necessary for Equestrian sport to flourish in America and around the world."
