Sillett claims his coaching successes include ‘training riders to Olympic level, riders who went on to form part of the British Showjumping GB Junior Team, numerous riders who have represented their country internationally and riders who frequently compete at the finals of the National School Equestrian Association’.
But there may be a darker reason for the growing interest: a harrowing documentary recently laid bare the damaging health consequences of incestuous families through the eyes of the deformed, inbred Whittaker family in West Virginia.
‘If you’re in a small town that hasn’t seen new retail in a long time, you see new development, a new yellow sign, there’s something intangible and positive about having that new development,’ he told DailyMail.com in a phone interview.
The median household income in Olive Hill is $49,688 – lower than the statewide figure of $55,573, but higher than is generally found in the surrounding rural parts of Carter County, where the town is located.

Merrett, the Western Illinois University academic, agreed that in some cases, a new dollar store can be a boon to rural areas where local businesses have shuttered, and residents have few or no retail options.
Two other Dollar Generals on the outskirts of Olive Hill also offer fresh produce, though on a recent visit by DailyMail.com, one produce section was poorly stocked, and the other had been cleared out while the cooler was down for repairs.
The hamlet’s downtown features rows of shuttered businesses that speak to better days, but a spark of economic life remains, with several local restaurants, a hardware store, and florist and boutique shops dotting the small commercial district.
‘I do think alcohol sales have something to do with it,’ Wells told DailyMail.com of the concentration of dollar stores in Olive Hill. ‘It’s a great place to sell alcohol for people going out to camp’ at nearby Carter Caves State Park, he added.
In fact, residents of Olive Hill jokingly refer to the Dollar General closest to downtown as the ‘Olive Hill Walmart’ due to its wide variety of goods, including a small produce section stocked with fruits and vegetables.

But critics fear that the convenience and affordability of food at dollar stores is offset by health concerns about their food offerings, which skew toward high-calorie, ultra-processed packaged foods.
Merrett said that as Walmart expanded across the country in the 1980s and 90s, many family-owed stores in smaller surrounding towns were not able to adapt, and shut down. ‘In many rural places that used to have a grocery store, they lost that grocery store,’ he said.
