About This Video

Get to know the only American riders to win the Dressage World Cup as they share their compelling stories with Equestrian Life.

Follow Debbie McDonald 's compelling story of her transition to Dressage later in life after a near career ending fall, and German-born Peters' determined pursuit of the American dream. Both riders share the very different roads that led to becoming U.S. Olympic Dressage Team members and ambassadors of equestrian sports.

Debbie and Steffen talk passionately about the horses who took them to the top; Debbie with Brentina and Steffen with Ravel, arguably the horse of a lifetime for each rider and adored by fans all over the world. So much so that each has a Breyer Horse model in their likeness.

So humbling, so inspiring and magical. Careers like their's are rare and few. They triumphed through adversity. They listened to their inner voices and their horses heard it. Together they committed to make their hopes and dreams reality. Absolutely beautiful!
