2010 Radio Show by SUCCEED Episode 46 – Show Notes and Links:

• Lot’s of news this week and we get an update from Chrissy Joy at the WEG Offices.
• Well, it turned out to quite an Independence Day Celebration for Steffen Peters and Ravel at the World Equestrian Festival in Aachen over the weekend. More…

• Although, dressage did somewhat steal the show, the US show jumpers performed at Aachen this same Fourth of July weekend, and held onto their lead in the Top League FEI Meydan Nations Cup by the narrowest of margins.
• The Germans had better luck on their home turf with their eventing team. They filled the top three places individually, and not surprisingly took the team prize too.
• Equestrian Sports New Zealand are on top of the Games, or ahead of the Games, or at least ahead of the rest of the World at the moment. They have already announced a squad likely to be coming to Lexington next year.

• Let’s come back stateside now, and it doesn’t get much more American than the annual NRHA Derby in Oklahoma. The heat was on, literally. Triple digit temperatures meant that even air conditioned show rings weren’t enough for the top tier reiners competing for the USEF Mahajan Trophy and the Open Reining Championship.
• Our spotlight para-equestrian Susan Treabess, also had a good Independence Day weekend, making like Steffen Peters and Ravel and cleaning up! More…
• Thank you to Henry Bullen of Peden Bloodstock International Horse Shipping Agents for joining us explain the preparations they are making to get ready for the 2010 Games.
• What a great sport Jackie Potts was to join us and tell us what transporting horses is like from the grooms point of view.
