Executive Director of the Horse Radio Network, Glenn the Geek, makes it his goal to provide informative yet enjoyable radio shows for everyone in the equestrian industry. On April 25, 2013 the Dressage Radio Show, featuring regular hosts Reese Koffler-Stanfield and Philip Parks, handed the reins over to United States Para-Equestrian Association’s (USPEA)Lindsay McCall and para-dressage rider Susan Treabess. McCall and Treabess had two outstanding guests including Kristi Wysocki and Gil Merrick on the show speaking about topics in the para-equestrian world. To listen to the show please go to: http://dressageradio.horseradionetwork.com/2013/04/25/dressage-radio-episode-204-kristi-wysocki-and-gil-merrick-discuss-judging-the-team-approach/
Kristi Wysocki, who was on the 2012 U.S. para-dressage selection committee, is a USEF licensed “S” dressage judge, an “R” dressage sport horse judge, and an FEI 3* para-dressage judge. Her expertise on judging a para-equestrian dressage rider versus judging an able-bodied dressage rider gives the listener a unique angle from the judge’s seat.
