In this episode of the Dressage Today Podcast, sponsored by Purina, Aviva and Stephany interviewed international dressage rider, trainer and coach Kathy Connelly. They delve into Kathy’s long and storied riding career, going back to her time in Pony Club and the interesting people she grew up riding with, as well as how she evolved from eventing to dressage and the coaches and mentors who influenced her along with way. They also discussed Kathy’s beliefs on the moral responsibilities involved when working with horses and her perspectives on the sport after being in the dressage world for such a long time.
Aviva and Stephany also catch up on what’s been going on in their dressage lives. Stephany recently spent six days with Mary Wanless, sold her Brooksville farm and purchased a new, young horse.
In the Ask the L segment, Aviva answers a great question from Jamie: If I’m in a test and things start going badly and I feel unsafe, is it OK to dismount?
We hope you enjoy this episode of the Dressage Today Podcast!
