USDF Official Podcast

Dini Swanson from the WDAA (Western Dressage Association of America) joins me to discuss; this podcast becoming the official podcast of the WDAA, AQHA recognizing Western Dressage for points and the decision to hold the WDAA World Show 2020.  In the Judges View segment, Simone Windeler, 'R' Western Dressage Judge and a USDF L graduate, explains how riders could improve their scores by increasing impulsion, not speed.  Frances Carbonnel joins me for the Training Tip and we discuss the process of teaching a horse and rider to have more impulsion.
