The Emerging Dressage Athlete Program (EDAP) was developed by Olympians Lendon Gray, Robert Dover, and Courtney King-Dye, who are combining their talents and expertise in a joint effort to find, help educate, and develop talented youth to become the international dressage riders and trainers of the future.

One of the 15 young riders chosen to the Emerging Dressage Athlete Program’s is Brittany Stanley with her a nine year old American-bred Swedish Warmblood named "Lilly" Amaryllis (by Amiral out of Verbena by Volturno, breeder Ellen Shepherd). Brittany is a Saint Louis native working currently working on her pre-veterinary course work at a university while riding and training her mare.

The Emerging Dressage Athlete Program’s Winter Intensive Training is about to begin with the Robert Dover Intensive HorseMaster Program January 2-6, launching for the first year three months of training lead by Lendon Gray, chairman of Dressage4Kids. What’s most exciting about this program will not only cover riding instruction, but will also cover rider fitness, cross training, nutrition, sports psychology, media training, horse care, riding theory as well as riding instruction from other top international riders.
