Featherlite Trailers Partners with Exciting New Series 'Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse' on PBS

    CRESCO, IA, February 15, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Featherlite Trailers is excited to announce its partnership with Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse, a new television series that celebrates the relationship between horse and human. The first season of this 13-part series debuted on PBS stations across the country in January.

The host, Dennis Brouse, is a highly respected and experienced horse trainer. "Whether you own a horse or just love to watch them in the movies, we'll explore our storied partnership with this magnificent animal," Brouse said. "The series will appeal to everyone from the serious horse owner to the arm-chair rider. We're grateful to public television and our sponsors American Cowboy, Featherlite, Fund for Horses and Gold Buckle Network for making this possible."

Shot in high definition (HD), each episode will showcase a specific training question or situation addressed by Brouse with the horse's owner. This training thread is integrated into each show as a means to increase the audience's understanding of horses. Special features will take viewers on a powerful and emotional journey into the horse world, highlighting everything from the mounted police to hippotherapy, along with segments on special breeds and classes of horses.

A Featherlite living quarters horse trailer will be used during the production of the show. "Featherlite is proud to support Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse and their great work conveying the compelling stories of the relationship between horse and rider," Randy Lewis, Featherlite Trailers national sales manager, said.

Brouse has been working with horses since the age of 14. After spending time learning to train horses "the old fashioned way," he quickly realized that he was at odds with this method. Since 1996, Dennis has spent thousands of hours studying and fine-tuning his training methods. In 2002, he produced his first series of training tapes, and shortly thereafter produced a television show that aired on RFD-TV.

Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse is produced by GlassOnion Productions and distributed by Executive Program Services (EPS). Horse enthusiasts are encouraged to check their local public television station listings for air times, or contact their local station to make sure this program is shown in their area.
