REVISIT: 2023 Interview with Steffen Peters - Dressage Today Podcast
bonusREVISIT: Welcome to the Dressage Today Podcast. In this episode, we talk to none other than dressage legend Steffen Peters who just finished fourth, and was the highest placing American, at the FEI Dressage World Cup Final. Then Aviva addresses the question of whether it is better to do a “poorer” transition at the letter or a “better” transition a stride (or two) later.Born in Wesel, Germany, Steffen Peters is one of the most recognizable names in American dressage. He met the U.S. trainer Laurie Falvo in Germany who invited him to work at her barn in San Diego in the summer of 1984. Captivated by the lifestyle and weather, Steffen made a life changing choice and moved to San Diego where he still resides today with his wife Shannon, an accomplished Grand Prix rider and trainer in her own right. He became a U.S. citizen in 1992 and rode in his first of five Olympic games in 1996. In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Steffen has had the good fortune to have trained and ridden many remarkable horses, including his current mount Suppenkasper, otherwise known as Mopsie. Together they helped win dressage team silver at the Tokyo Olympics.In this interview, Steffen reflects on Omaha as well as his long, successful career and lets us know what's next for him and Mopsie.Listen in!

Interview with Endel Ots - Dressage Today Podcast
bonusWelcome to the Dressage Today podcast sponsored by Sentinel. Aviva and Stephanie talk about how lucky they are to have had the opportunity to talk to so many of the riders on the dressage Olympic short list, and then Aviva answers the question about how the counter canter in First Level Test 3 should be ridden and how it is scored.Together they interview up-and-coming international rider Endel Ots. A native of Wisconsin, Ots grew up on a farm and began riding at age 8. While he started in jumping, he soon made his way to dressage. At age 23, he got an opportunity to train with Hubertus Schmidt in Germany where he gained invaluable experience. After that he worked with Lars Peterson and found his new home in Wellington, Florida where he is based today.He was an alternate for the 2011 Pan American Games team and selected for the 2019 Pan American Games team with the horse Lucky Strike but had to withdraw when his horse unfortunately suffered superficial cuts in a trailer injury. After Lucky Strike recovered, the pair went on to win the Intermediaire I Championship at the Dressage Festival of Champions at Lamplight. Then in December 2023, he got the ride of a lifetime with Heidi Humphries’ Zen Elite’s Bohemian. After just a few months together, the pair were named to the short list to compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic dressage team.Listen in!No one knows your horse’s thoughts, emotions and moods as well as you.

Ep 731Good Students, Favorite Tests, and Mindful Riding with Chelsea Canedy
For the next few weeks, we will be highlighting some of our favorite shows from our friends over at the Dressage Today Podcast!Welcome to a “mindful” episode of the Dressage Today Podcast, sponsored by the Horse Care Loyalty Rewards Program. Hosts Stephanie Ruff and Aviva Nebesky first discuss their ideas of what makes a good student, and then Aviva talks about her favorite test and level to judge in her “Ask the L” segment.They interview Chelsea Canedy about her road to enlightenment and how that has influenced her professional career as a dressage and event rider. Chelsea grew up in Connecticut where she was a member of Litchfield Pony Club, earning her H-A certificate before leaving for college. After riding throughout college, she moved to Northeast Tennessee, where her eyes were opened to some horsemanship ideas and tools that she had never seen before. She tweaked and utilized those tools as she expanded her business to a large facility in Virginia, bringing several horses up the levels in dressage and eventing before selling them for their owners and running a private client's business as well. Chelsea is currently based in Wales, Maine, and is helping connect riders in that area to the bustling world of dressage and upper-level eventing from her home base at Unexpected Farm.
