In this episode of the Dressage Today Podcast, sponsored by EQUESTRIAN+, Aviva and Stephany talk with international dressage rider, trainer and coach Kathy Connelly again. Kathy shares more insights into the sport and touches on the many hats she wears in the dressage world. She also provides her take on what qualities make good students and horse people and reminds us why we started riding dressage in the first place.
