Horse & Country announces new two-part series ‘Dream Big’, following Kristy Snepvangers

[London, UK – 28.01.2026] — Horse & Country is set to premiere ‘Dream Big’, a powerful new two-part documentary series following Dutch equestrian athlete and content creator, Kristy Snepvangers. Empowered by nutrition experts, Cavalor, the first instalment in the series will be available to audiences worldwide on 23 January with episode 2 released two weeks later.

‘Dream Big’ explores what it truly takes to pursue ambition at the highest level of equestrian sport. This is not a story about podiums or medals, but about the journey behind them – the discipline, pressure and resilience required to keep building towards a long-term goal. 

Across these two heartfelt episodes, viewers follow Kristy Snepvangers during her final season competing as a Young Rider – the FEI category for riders aged 16 to 21 – as she works towards selection for the Dutch team at the European Championships. The series offers an honest portrait of a pivotal moment in a rider’s career, capturing both progress and setbacks along the way.

As the series unfolds, ‘Dream Big’ shines a light on the everyday realities of elite equestrian life: long training days, obstacles, difficult decisions and the mental strength required to stay the course. It is a refreshingly authentic look at ambition in action, supported by Cavalor’s commitment to supporting riders and horses at every stage of their performance journey.

Jonathan Rippon, Director of Content at Horse & Country said:
“Kristy’s story represents a new generation of equestrian talent – ambitious, real and deeply connected with a home-grown audience. ‘Dream Big’ allows us to explore the reality behind high-performance sport at a key transition point in a rider’s career path, and partnering with Cavalor was a natural fit. Their commitment to long-term horse and rider development sits at the heart of this series.”

And, of course, at the centre of this docuseries is Kristy herself, offering her unfiltered, and often emotionally-charged, perspective on the next steps towards “building the dream”.

“‘Dream Big’ shows the parts of the journey that are often invisible – the pressure, the doubt, and the moments where you have to decide how badly you really want it,” said Kristy Snepvangers. “I wanted this series to be an honest documentary of events, because that’s what real progress looks like.”

“At Cavalor, we believe real success is built over time,” added Monique Van Hal, Brand Manager at Cavalor. “‘Dream Big’ reflects our commitment to supporting both horse and rider through every stage of their journey, not just the moments in the spotlight.”

‘Dream Big’, empowered by Cavalor; premieres 23 January, exclusively on H&C+. It will then be available on Horse & Country’s linear TV channel from 24 January; premiering just before the live stream of the Anemone Horse Trucks Grand Prix of Amsterdam from Jumping Amsterdam 2026. The ‘Dream Big’ trailer is available to watch now.
