Dressage Today: Interview with Kathy Connelly

Listen Now

Aviva and Stephany catch up on what’s been going on lately – Stephany talks about her 6 days with Mary Wanless, the selling of her Brooksville farm and the purchase of her new young horse, So Special!  

In the Ask the L segment, Aviva answers a great question from Jamie:  If I am in a test and things start going badly and I feel unsafe – is it ok to dismount?  Thanks Jamie for a great question, and Aviva for having such a complete answer!

We have a word from our Sponsor, Purina, and their Systemiq Supplement.

In the interview with Kathy, Stephany delves into Kathy’s riding career, her time in the Pony  Club and all the cool people she grew up riding with.  We talk about how she evolved from Eventing to Dressage, as well as the amazing coaches she got to work with throughout her riding career.  We talk about Kathy’s beliefs and our moral responsibilities while working with horses, and you get to see why she has been a shining light in the Dressage world for a long, long time!
