## Resource

This week on The Dressage Radio Show, we kick things off with Debra Reinhardt USDF Vice Pres, as we break down the qualifying process for the U.S. Dressage Finals and what riders need to know to make their way to Nationals. Then we go behind the scenes at Aachen with Megan Laffin and Allie Conti, who share their experiences as grooms at one of the biggest dressage competitions in the world. And finally, we chat with international coach, trainer and competitor David Wightman about his success developing young riders—from Young Riders and the Festival of Champions to international competition—and what it takes to help the next generation reach the highest levels of our sport.
