Equifest Future Stars is returning with a slightly different format. Removing the competition element, this year provides an opportunity to experience the Equifest performance environment and showcase your performance skills.
This opportunity is open to Amateur and Professional Trainers; however, the Horse entered must be new to equine entertainment and cannot have featured in an equine event's Nightshow before.
Participants will receive mentorship during Equifest from Russell Higgins, Kelly Wilson, Ellie Harrison, and Hannah Catalino and the opportunity to perform with sound, lighting, and costumes during a Sunday showcase.
Application Process
Spaces are limited, and applications close 9am on the 27th September. To complete your application, please ensure you have the following materials ready:
High-Resolution Photos: Submit clear, high-quality photos of yourself with your horse. These will be used to understand your performance style and presentation.
Performance Description: Provide a brief description of your performance in approximately 100 words. This should outline what makes your act unique and what the judges can expect to see.
Music: Include the music that will accompany your performance. This helps in understanding the rhythm and flow of your act.
Performance Video: Upload a short video showcasing your performance. This video should give a clear representation of what you plan to present during the showcase.
