2024 Young Rider Dream Program - Wellington
The Dressage Foundation's 2024 Young Rider Dream Program trip to Wellington, Florida, was held in January 2024. Thanks to generous donors, the Dream Program was a fully-funded opportunity for riders ages 18-22 years old, riding 3rd Level and above, who have never trained or competed in Wellington. The five Young Rider participants were: Kylia Baker (CA), Caroline Colby (NH), Bella Perkins (NY), Chloe Roth (SC), and Katie Staib (PA). Learn more about the young riders.
During their week in Wellington, TDF’s Dream Program group had the opportunity to meet with some of the top riders, coaches, and judges in the world, as well as attend competitions at Adequan Global Dressage Festival.
