Dressage Today S7E11: Interview with Sue Kolstad
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!
