Welcome to the Dressage Today podcast sponsored by Farnam's Endure Gold Fly Spray, KPP's InsulinWise and Tribute Equine Nutrition! This month Aviva and Stephany are shaking it up a little bit! Would you expect anything less? Because the interview ran long and was so full of great information, we decided not to do our usual catch up or Ask the L. Guess you'll just have to check back with us next month to see what's been going on!In this month's interview, Stephany and Aviva speak with Sue Kolstad, a USEF ‘S' Judge, to ask her questions about ring craft! No, its not talking magic, it is getting some feedback on what Sue thinks as a judge, where she puts priorities as she judges and tips to pay attention to for the next time YOU show!Sue has been a professional in the world of dressage since 1977. Over these almost 50 years, she has owned or managed several different farms, trained several horses to Grand Prix, and coached students to many championships, medals, and Young Riders. She has explored many disciplines, including hunters, jumpers, eventing, endurance, driving, and western, but found dressage to be her greatest inspiration, and now spends most of her time judging and teaching clinics, at home and away. She is still actively showing and selling horses. Sue also has completed her Century Club ride, as well as her Bronze Silver and Gold USDF Medals!During her formative years, Dr. Max Gahwyler was one of her greatest mentors. Sue is also a talented artist and a dressage historian. So it was a great honor for Sue to know that Dr Gahlwyler initiated the Century Club, and she drew his horse Prince, who he did his ride on.During the interview, we get to ask Sue questions about what would be better, as far as mistakes go. We cover everything from corners to riding that pesky center line, and Sue gives us a couple of judges' secrets that we were sure glad to know! It is a fascinating look into riding a better test from the judge's perspective, and we think that you will get lots of great a-has from it!We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always if you like what you hear, please like and share our podcasts on social media!As always, we are grateful for our sponsors!

In this episode of the Practical Horseman Podcast, sponsored by Tribute Equine Nutrition and Farnam, we talk to rising eventing protégée Olivia Dutton—daughter of the legendary eventer Phillip Dutton—fresh off her individual bronze finish with Irish Sport Horse gelding Jewelent at the inaugural FEI Eventing World Championship U25 where they also finished as the highest-placed U.S. combination.This new FEI championship held at Millstreet International in Cork County, Ireland, was created to help bridge the gap between Young Rider and senior-level competition and saw 40 riders under the age of 25 from 14 different nations compete at the CCI4*-S level. After dressage, Olivia and Jewelent sat in 26th place, but made a stellar comeback over cross country and show jumping to secure the first-ever individual medal for the U.S. at the inaugural championship.The 24-year-old has blossomed from a wide-eyed, horse-crazy girl into a promising young star in the sport as she carries forward one of eventing's most respected family legacies. In today's podcast, Olivia tells us about her partnership with Jewelent, what it was like having her famous father as a coach growing up and how they continue to navigate the parent-coach dynamics and why she rides for herself as well as for her family's name.About Olivia DuttonGrowing up riding on the family's True Prospect Farm in West Grove, Pennsylvania, under the tutelage of her dad—a seven-time Olympian and two-time Olympic gold medalist—Olivia was immersed in the Dutton's professional eventing operation from time she could walk. Long before recognizing her own competition ambitions, she tagged along with her parents to some of the biggest events around the world where she had the opportunity to watch her dad compete at the highest level of the sport.While her parents encouraged Olivia to pursue show jumping, she caught the eventing bug by the age of 10 when she began competing with one of her first mounts The Dude. She later took over Santa's Playboy, an off-the-track Thoroughbred who had previously competed at the Advanced level with owner Amy Ruth Borun. In 2016, they were Reserve Champions in the CCI2* at the Hagyard Midsouth Three-Day Event & Team Challenge.In 2018, she helped Area II capture team gold at the Adequan FEI North American Youth Rider Championships riding Mr. Medicott and went on to compete at increasingly demanding levels, moving up to Intermediate at Carolina International and later stepping into CCI4* competition.Olivia briefly stepped away from full-time competition to attend the University of Kentucky, where she studied business while continuing to ride and compete on weekends—a balancing act that became a hallmark of her early 20s.In 2022, she partnered with off-the-track Thoroughbred Sea of Clouds after taking over the ride from her dad, who had produced the gelding to the five-star level and finished in 10th place at the 2022 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*-L. Olivia and “Socs,” who'd been on the family's farm since he was a 3-year-old, finished 13th in the 2024 Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S in and were in the MARS Bromont CCI4*-L that same year.Together, the pair has continued to climb the international ranks, contesting multiple CCI4* events, including Bromont International and Boekelo before capturing a standout CCI4*-S victory at the Morven Park Fall International and Horse Trials in 2025.About This Episode's Sponsors: Tribute Equine Nutrition and FarnamTributeAt Tribute Equine Nutrition, caring for horses has always come first.

In this episode of the Dressage Today Podcast, we welcome Michele Wellman, dressage trainer, contributor to Dressage Today and owner of By Chance Farm in Fredrick County, Maryland. Since founding the farm in 2002, Michele has been working for more than two decades to expand boarding, riding and showing opportunities for local dressage riders. Last month, however, an F2 tornado struck the farm and caused major devastation to their barn structures. While much of her beloved farm was destroyed, no horses or people were lost or injured during the powerful storm that swept through Libertyown, Maryland.Michele tells us about her vision for By Chance Farm, the devastating tornado that turned her world upside down and the incredible response she's received from horse people across the country in the storm's aftermath. It's a tale of love and loss, as well as one of a community rallying around one of their own. We know you'll enjoy hearing her extraordinary story.In this podcast, Stephany and Aviva also share their thoughts on two of the newest rule changes taking place in the dressage world—no longer allowing the double bridle in Third Level and the penalty change for using your voice in the show ring. And in a new Ask the L, Aviva shares her thoughts on proper and improper use of the whip in competition.We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always if you like what you hear, please like and share our podcasts on social media!As always, we are grateful for our sponsors!

This week, we're focusing on women's health with three inspiring guests who share their unique perspectives on health, wellness, and life in the equestrian world.

A professional opera singer and equestrian, Jennifer discusses riding during pregnancy, balancing motherhood and horses, and the importance of caring for your voice and overall health. Kerri, an adult amateur rider, shares a remarkable story about how pain while sitting the trot led her to seek medical attention. That decision resulted in the discovery of an ovarian mass, highlighting the importance of listening to your body and not dismissing persistent pain. Dr. Wendy from Intention Health & Wellness rounds out the episode with practical insights into women's health, whole-body wellness, and proactive care. She discusses ways women can prioritize their health so they can continue to thrive both in and out of the saddle.

In this episode of the Practical Horseman Podcast, sponsored by Farnam and Tribute, we talk with top up-and-coming hunter rider Crystal Young about her special partnerships with MTM Nonchalant and his owner Adelle Alletto, why she fell in love with hunters, the strong horsewomen who shaped her career and her overall training philosophy.About Crystal YoungIn recent years, Crystal Young has made a name for herself as a top up-and-coming hunter contender through her remarkable success with MTM Nonchalant, owned by Adelle Alletto. The pair celebrated a win in the 2023 Green Hunter 3' Stake at WEF 7 and a second-place finish in the 2023 $15,000 USHJA National Hunter Derby Open at the Equus Events Tryon Spring 3. In 2024, Crystal and the 11-year-old KWPN gelding took top honors at the Performance Hunter 3'3” Championship at the Ocala Winter Finals, the Green Hunter 3'3”/3'6” Championship at the Mid Spring Concours and the $10,000 UF Veterinary Hospital USHJA National 3' Open Hunter Derby at the World Equestrian Center.She and the gelding maintained their competitive edge during the 2025 competition season with a fourth-place finish in the $15,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Equus Events Tryon Spring 3, a first-place finish in the Green Hunter 3'6” FP at WEC Ocala Summer 6 and a second-place finish in the Green Hunter 3'6” Championship at WEC Ocala Summer 9. But the defining moment of their 2025 season came at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show where the duo claimed reserve champion in the Green Hunter 3'6” division.While growing up in Nutley, New Jersey, it was Crystal's mom who first ignited her passion for horses. Diane Young primarily rode Western and would bring Crystal along to the barn, where she taught her daughter basic horsemanship skills and the two enjoyed trail riding together. By the time the budding equestrian was 12, her mom introduced her to the historic Suburban Essex Barn near West Orange, New Jersey, where Crystal first discovered English disciplines and her passion for hunters.After gaining experience as a working student at Suburban Essex throughout her teenage years, she went on to work for notable horsewomen like Beth Batel, Ann Schear, Nikki Fry, Anne Kursinski and Carol Thompson where she gained invaluable insights and learned what it takes to produce complete horseman and women. From fox hunting and hunter paces to hunters, jumpers, dressage and cross-country, these strong female mentors taught her that true horsemanship stems from foundation and versatility.In recent years, Crystal has received guidance in the hunter ring from Mike McCormick, Don Stewart and Brian Feigus—all of whom also provided her with immeasurable wisdom and helped elevate her own training program.She and MTM Nonchalant kicked off the 2026 season off with a bang, winning the Green Hunter 3'9” – FP at the Winter Spectacular and the Performance Hunter 3'6”-Handy at the Winter Spectacular II. The pair also had a third-place finish in the Green Hunter 3'9” at the Winter Spectacular and a ninth-place finish at the $75,000 USHJA WCHR East Coast Hunter Spectacular.About this Episode's Sponsors: Tribute and FarnamTributeAt Tribute Equine Nutrition, caring for horses has always come first.
