It was a change of pace for me recently when, instead of asking the questions, I became the one being interviewed. I was a guest on this week’s episode (number 754) of The Dressage Radio Show, the official podcast of the U.S. Dressage Federation, to discuss “Riding Through,” a book I wrote with Olympian Debbie McDonald that was published in 2006.
Debbie McDonald and Brentina, 2008.
The “how-to” dressage tips it details are timeless, which is why it has been chosen as the first offering of the U.S. Dressage Federation Book Club, a benefit for the federation’s members. The club will have a discussion about the book in a webinar Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Evelyn Lancione, USDF’s member education coordinator, is in charge of the webinar, during which members will discuss the book and ask me questions about it.

The podcast was hosted by Reese Koffler-Stanfield and Megan McIssac. Here are links to the episode on the Horse Radio Network and on Apple Podcasts. The entire 47-minute episode of the podcast is interesting, since part of it deals with the Paralympics. However, if you want to go directly to my segment, you can fast forward on your podcast app to the 30-minutes-30-seconds mark, or you can just click on this link to listen to my segment of the podcast on YouTube starting at that time stamp. To hear what Evelyn had to say, go to the 23-minute mark.
