Dressage Plus Sponsorship Team 2026

Applications are now open (8 positions available)

After another successful (and seriously fun) year with the 2025 Sponsored Riders, I’m opening the doors again for 2026 sponsorship applications.
I’m offering eight sponsorship positions for riders to join the Dressage Plus team in 2026.

This opportunity is open to competitive EA, Pony Club, and HRCAV riders across Australia in any discipline and level — and you’re also welcome to apply if you’re a pleasure rider and don’t have the “competition bug”.
Riders must be 14 years and up.

Who this is for

More than anything, I’m looking for riders who are dedicated — riders who are committed to training, willing to learn, and who understand that mindset is a huge part of riding success (and enjoyment).

This opportunity is ideal for riders who have goals and dreams for 2026 — whether you’re working through things like nerves, overthinking, self-doubt, confidence challenges or fear… or you’ve got a big, exciting goal you’re aiming for and you want professional mindset coaching support to help you perform at your best. Either way, you’ll learn practical tools to ride with more calm, focus, and enjoyment.

And if you’re successful, you’re not doing 2026 solo. You’ll become part of a positive, like-minded crew — a place to make horsey friends, share the highs and the challenges, and have people in your corner who actually understand what it’s like.
Being part of the team is a win all on its own.

What you’ll receive as a Sponsored Rider

Each successful sponsored rider will receive:

  • 12-month membership to the Compete with Confidence Club (Value $497)
  • 6-week Riding Plan PDF: Bringing Your Horse Back Into Work (Value $59)
  • $40 off Phone Performance Coaching Sessions for the year (normally $100 per session)
  • Unlimited email coaching and support
  • 2026 Performance Diary posted out (Value $39)
  • Regular media updates and celebration of your progress via Dressage Plus socials
  • A sponsored rider feature on the Dressage Plus website
  • Plus the best part: a supportive team environment (because success is better when you’re not doing it alone).
