WELLINGTON, Florida, Jan. 19, 2018–Kasey Denny and Tori Belles, two American youth riders, have been awarded Christian Kennedy Future Stars Scholarships of a month of free training with former U.S. team coach Robert Dover.

Kasey Denny, 12 years old of Hutto, Texas on San Dante, her 12-year-old Hanoverian gelding, and Tori Belles, 14 of Bethal, Pennsylvania, on Romulus, her nine-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding, can take up the scholarships in Wellington any time in calendar 2019.

This is the third year of the Christian Kennedy Future Stars program, named for a young rider killed in a car crash in Wellington, and aimed at identifying and nurturing young people who are U.S. citizens and display a passion for dressage.

“I am thrilled to be able to give back to these 2 super American kids who I know will have fantastic futures in the sport of dressage,” Robert said.
