Thank you for your interest in competing in Road to the Horse. Each year, we look for
the top horse trainers—who use kind methods to effectively teach both horses and horse
owners. Education and integrity are our primary goals. Participating clinicians must
also be eloquent and lively speakers and great entertainers.

Our application process allows us to get to know new and upcoming horse trainers. To
apply, please fill out the following application pack. Return this pack along with your
videos approximately a year and a half before the show year when you’d like to
participate. For example, participants for the 2009 show will be selected prior to the
2008 winner announcement (unless the winner determines who will compete again).
Please note: the materials you send cannot be returned due to the amount of applications
we receive. We’ll contact you if our producers and judges are interested in you after
reviewing your application and videos. The management reserves the right to invite
celebrity horse trainers.

Good luck on your way to Road to the Horse!
—Tootie Bland, Producer/Owner
