The 1992 Summer Olympics were particularly historic for many reasons. It was the first Olympics after the fall of the Soviet Union. Professional athletes were first able to compete, leading to the creation of the Dream Team. Sports writer Zachary Draves is revisiting those Games this summer on their 30th anniversary, and he joins the podcast this week to talk about the big storylines and some of the athletes he's been able to interview, including Mary Joe and Gigi Fernandez, Robert Dover, Keith Frostad and others.

Welcome to the Dressage Today Podcast, sponsored by the HorseWare Ireland. Stephanie and Aviva discuss participating in the USDF's L Education Program. The interview in this podcast is different. In August, Stephanie interviewed Robert Dover to get his perspective on the Tokyo Olympics for Practical Horseman magazine. The interview contained many wonderful stories, and space in the magazine was limited so a lot was left out. We decided to put the rest of it together for this podcast as it almost coincides with the release of his book, The Gates to Brilliance: How a Gay, Jewish, Middle-Class Kid Who Loved Horses Found Success. It is currently available to pre-order and is scheduled to be available on November 9.Listen in!Website: https://dressagetoday.comVideo Subscription Site: https://ondemand.dressagetoday.com/catalogSocial Media Links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DressageTodayInstagram: @DressageTodayTwitter: @DressageTodayPinterest: @DressageTodayEmail: sruff@equinenetwork.comSponsor: https://shop.horseware.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He also talks about why he is putting the Olympics behind him. He also shares the story of meeting his husband, Robert Ross, who also competed in equestrian.

Debbie McDonald has been an integral part of Team USA Dressage for a number of years since she stole the limelight with her extraordinary mare Brentina winning team silver and bronze at the 2012 and 2016 World Equestrian Games and the team bronze at the Athens Olympic Games. Most recently, as well as becoming a much sought after coach, Debbie has been the Developing Dressage Coach nurturing new talent among young riders around the country. This year her role will change as she takes over the position of Technical Advisor to the team from Robert Dover. It’s a role she is relishing and, with the upcoming World Equestrian Games, Debbie is confident that the way the horses are going right now ‘everyone should be frightened’ as they are a force to be reckoned and will be looking to improve on their last podium - the team bronze medal in Rio. Chris Stafford chatted to Debbie about the team’s current form and how the horses and riders have improved. For show notes and related links for this episode click HERE.

Robert Dover has been at the forefront of American dressage for over 30 years. He competed at every Olympics from 1984-2004 winning four team bronze and a WEG bronze in 1984. He has been the technical advisor to the American team since 2013. Robert's list of trainers is just extraordinary and that's played an enormous part of America's success and depth of good talent in America has today. Robert discusses judging through the ages, how the public loses with the new three horse team policy and the the risk to our art of change for change sake and why riders as a group should be consulted first before changes are put into place. He talks about the role media plays in the sport, why Isabell gets the marks that she does and he also touches on life outside of dressage. And what does Robert have in common with Bob Hope and Cher?

Kyle Tasker, among other things was charged with selling drugs to other members of the NH House No charges will be filed. Several of which used online applications like FB to communicate and transact (stupid) The Attorney General conducted interviews with all parties except one who died in June. Feel free to read the NH 1 article in the show notes, as well as their conversations with the AG. These reps include Pamela Tucker, Amanda Bolden, Joseph Lachance, and Ted Wright. Broadly, I'm wondering why any of them would say anything. Probably in exchange for amnesty, but what did the AG really have one them? Some online communication perhaps. But unless they could track the money, or witnessed the sale, I'm wondering why they said anything at all. I'm disappointed any liberty minded reps would participate so fully. Perhaps there are circumstances beyond my knowledge, and if so, I'm free to change my mind later. At first read, dissapointed. Bouldin and Lachance were pretty detailed in discussing their interactions with Tasker, Bouldin naming Pamela Tucker as someone who she knew purchased drugs from Tasker. Lachance quite forthright about details of his purchases, as well as Tasker's operation. Pamela Tucker is a complete hypocrite. Her official position is against marijuana use. So it's ok to lock peaceful people up for using a plant, but she gets away with it because of her privileged position. Of the four it's pretty easy to have compassion for Ted Wright, whose wife battled cancer and used marijuana to suppress the terrible side affects of her treatment. http://www.wmur.com/blob/view/-/41901810/data/1/-/taqxet/-/PDF---Tasker-report.pdf Praxeum Free Market day recap Sponsor Umami https://www.facebook.com/umami284/   Local happenings NH film festival New Hampshire's 16th annual film festival will be in Portsmouth October 13th-16th NHFF ranked in the top 50 films festivals in the world Venues have yet to be released, Last year's venues were The music hall, The music hall loft, Moffatt-Ladd house and the 3S Artspace At this year's festival there are nearly 100 films VIP passes $200 (Premium and advanced seating at every screening at every venue throughout the 4 day event [as long as patrons arrive 15 minutes before scheduled screening time] priority entrance to all ceremonies and parties including the VIP Brunch at the One Hundred Club.

Almost all names aren't original, they come from one place or another Rockingham County: Named after Charles Watson-Wentworth 2nd Marquess of Rockingham. He was Prime minister from 1765-66 tried to repeal the Stamp Act while PM. He was leader of the opposition for the following 12 years and was a staunch supporter of constitutional rights for the colonists. In a latter he wrote, "I fear indeed the future struggles of the people in defence of their Constitutional Rights will grow weaker and weaker. It is much too probable that the power and influence of the Crown will increase rapidly. We live at the period when for the first time since the Revolution, the power and influence of the Crown is held out, as the main and chief and only support of Government. If we...do not exert now, we may accelerate the abject state to which the Constitution may be reduced" Strafford County: Named after William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford. Erroneously named because it was thought that he was an ancestor of NH Governor John Wentworth 1767-1775. Strafford died childless. Portsmouth: Named after the city in Hampshire, England. Which was the port where NH colony founder John Mason had been captain. Hampshire is named after the town of Hampton which later became Southampton, Hampshire, England (to distinguish from Northampton) Dover: Named after Robert Dover in 1637 by second NH governor George Burdett. Dover was a lawyer who resisted Puritanism, Burdett was episcopalian and as we've discussed before NH wasn't puritan like Plymouth Colony. Rochester: Named by Massachusetts and NH Governor Samuel Shute for his friend Laurence Hyde, 1st Earl of Rochester brother-in-law to King James II Gonic: Short for Squamanagonic. Abenaki for “water of the clay place hill” Somersworth: Named originally Summersworth like the season because it was a place where ministers would preach in the summer. When it was incorporated in 1754 a clerical error caused the current spelling Exeter: Named by John Wheelwright after Exeter, Devon Piscataqua: Abenaki from the roots Peske(branching) tegwe(strong tidal river). Cochecho River: Abenaki for rapid foaming water. Relating to the falls at Dover. Cocheco Manufacturing Company incorporated in 1827 also had a clerical error removing the final h when they were incorporated. Most people now pronounce it Co-chee-co now.
