  • S6E10: Women Making Olympic Equestrian History

    S6E10: Women Making Olympic Equestrian History
    Aug 27 2021
    Irish journalist Louise Parkes joins Chris this week to share her experience and reflections on the Tokyo Olympic Games. Louise was the pen behind the press releases for the FEI in Tokyo and watched history being made at these unusual Games. The world too enjoyed watching as German women not only won dressage and eventing gold medals but also occupied seven places in the top ten of the dressage freestyle, including the top five spots. Eventer Julia Krajewski slid into the gold medal position after cross country when her teammate and favorite Michael Jung accrued penalties and she made no mistake that this was to be her competition. That these Games happened at all during a pandemic was a massive achievement for all concerned and much credit is due to the Japanese people who ensured that the horses benefitted from five-star accommodation and the viewing public enjoyed some outstanding performances that will go down in the record books with women becoming Olympic Champions.

  • S6E9: Catherine Reddick, Strides for Equality

    S6E9: Catherine Reddick, Strides for Equality
    Aug 20 2021
    Life-long horsewoman and eventer, Catherine Reddick, is part of the leadership team for a new organization that was established to create equitable opportunities for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) in the horse world. Strides for Equality (SEE) was founded by a group of women in 2020 to address access and opportunities in a sport that traditionally in some countries is perceived as elite and expensive. SEE has already built a network of partnerships and created a scholarship and grant program, which will open the barn door to BIPOC people. Education will play a key role by explaining anti-racism; promoting informed allyship; supports organizational diversity, equity, and inclusion work. SEE celebrates the history of BIPOC equestrians and elevates the visibility of BIPOC equestrians today.
