America's Favorite Trail Horse: New reality TV series taking auditions

The American Competitive Trail Horse Association is booking tryouts for a new reality TV show in search of America's Favorite Trail Horse. Once finalists are selected, then America will vote with the top ten sharing $100,000 in cash and prizes and one lucky horse being crowned as the Favorite.
 
Regional auditions will be April 11-24, but act fast if you're interested as entries may be limited. Based on the entries, audition sites will be announced. Right now, however, Kentucky is not listed as a potential audition site so a trip to one of our neighboring states may be in order.

They are looking for style and finesse over obstacle courses, communication between horse & rider and above all else, your personality and your horse's horsenality!
 
100 horse & rider teams will make the cut to the National Finals held in Austin, TX for what promises to be a great time participating in Competitive Trail Challenges, Clinics taught by top ACTHA clinicians and lots of face time with the cameras. Finalists will be selectively featured on national and ACTHA TV.
 
There is only one initial cost and that's for Regional tryouts at $149. There will be at least 10 episodes aired on national TV and each horse that is voted the "Favorite" for that episode will win $5,000. At the end, when the final tallies are in, 1st place will win $25,000, 2nd place $15,000 and 3rd place $10,000.
