Synopsis: Dual Enrolled (USA)
Directed by: Isaac Alongi, Victoria Sheehan

12:51 mins

Dual Enrolled is a short documentary on the demands and commitment that is required of equestrian student-athletes. Presented by The Plaid Horse, Catie Staszak Media, Inc. and Victoria Sheehan Productions, the film follows Emma Blumenkrantz, Cristian Hacker, Natalie Jayne and Campbell Hudkins, along with coaches Lynn Jayne and TJ O’Mara as they navigate the competitive winter show season in Wellington, FL.

Each individual is at a different place in their academic and riding careers: Some attend brick and mortar school, while others take courses online or are engaged in a hybrid model; some are new to the juggle, while others have seen their work rewarded with recruitment to a Division 1 college program. Each, however, has made success in their sport possible through a unique commitment that extends far behind the few minutes seen on center stage in the show ring.

There is more than one kind of education. Get to know Emma Blumenkrantz, Cristian Hacker, Natalie Jayne and Campbell Hudkins, along with coaches Lynn Jayne and TJ O’Mara, in Dual Enrolled.

This film came together through a small but hard-working team. Piper Klemm oversaw this vision and provided an environment where our team was supported to tell the best story possible. Catie Staszak of Catie Staszak Media was our walking encyclopedia and storyteller extraordinaire. Tori Sheehan combined everyone’s talent’s along with her affinity for production and post-production to keep everything running smoothly and allow the story to take shape and have feel, and Junior Britto’s editing and graphic support created the story you see today. We are all passionate people, so grateful for the opportunity to share these rider’s stories.
