TDF’s Dream Program offers unforgettable experiences—and our 2025 participants came back from their trip to Aachen, Germany, inspired and motivated. 🏆

From Dream Program participant, Tessa Holloran (FL), “One of the most impactful lessons I’m taking home from this trip is that you need to keep riding in the ring. I find sometimes at shows I’m so worried about making a mistake that I forget that I still need to implement my training.

“This sport isn’t about perfection. It’s about resilience, determination, and staying mentally present. Watching elite riders at Aachen handle tough moments with composure reminded me to never stop riding, never give up, and never lose sight of why we do this. At the end of the day, we do this because of the love we have for horses. That connection is what truly matters, and it should always guide our goals and our journey.” ❤🐴

From witnessing top riders compete to behind-the-scenes learning, the Dream Program fuels the future of dressage in the U.S. Read more from the 2025 Dream Program participants at https://bit.ly/4m7qb5e

The Dream Program now heads to Wellington, FL, in January! This program is for riders 18-22 years old who are training and competing at Third Level or above.

Applications are accepted through October 7. Learn more at https://bit.ly/4eZAZA1
