H&C is thrilled to welcome applications for the 5th season of our most popular reality series, the Mochara All Star Academy!
We're heading back to the Talland School of Equitation in Gloucestershire, where our lucky All Star contestants will battle it out under the ever-watchful eye of international dressage riders and trainers, Pammy and Charlie Hutton.
The Mochara All Star Academy brings together eight amateur riders and their horses in a competition over a week to find the All Star Champion. Contestants ride their own horses and the Talland schoolmasters, participate in a variety of different challenges testing their equine knowledge and perseverance as well as their riding ability, and receive lots of great goodies from our participating sponsors!
This year is set to be like no other - with Megan Elphick presenting the series along with a stellar line up of celebrity coaches. The new format for the show will see all eight riders participate up to the last day, when the final four will be chosen to take part in the Finale to choose this year's Mochara All Star Champion.
Think you've got what it takes?
The Mochara All Star Academy isn't a contest to find the best rider. We're looking for people who have some ability in the saddle but more importantly, also have a desire to improve, to share their learning and advice and to make a name for themselves.
We want the many thousands of H&C viewers who watch the show to root for you and to fall in love with your horses. If you have a good knowledge of stable management and a real keenness to learn, and if you're fun and a good communicator to boot, you could be the next Mochara All Star Academy Champion.
Think you've got what it takes to be put through your paces in the Mochara All Star Academy? Check out our FAQs, then fill out the application form to register.
Be quick - applications close 21st June at 23.59 BST!
