Mochara All Star Academy 2024
H&C is thrilled to announce 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.
