Welcome to this week's episode of Making Milestones Podcast, where we dive deep into the world of elite dressage with Susan Wachowicz, the founder of Dressage Hub and the World Equestrian Federation. Join us as Susan shares her eye-opening journey from the glitzy arenas of Wellington to becoming a controversial yet pivotal voice in the horse community.
In this insightful episode, we unravel the complexities of the dressage world, addressing pressing issues such as horse welfare, the politics of scoring, and the often-overlooked behind-the-scenes controversies. Susan sheds light on the questionable practices pervasive in high-level competitions and the crucial need for reform within the sport to prioritize animal welfare and ethical standards.
Listen in as we discuss potential solutions and Susan's innovative efforts in creating the World Equestrian Federation, a new platform aiming to provide fair competition with a focus on horse welfare, education, and community. Whether you're a dressage enthusiast or an advocate for ethical sports practices, this episode offers a compelling perspective on how we can collectively foster a more humane and inclusive equestrian environment.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
