PODCAST: Millikin and Wofford Weigh in on Format Changes in Our Sport
The new FEI qualifications and rider categorization introduced this year have caused quite an uproar in recent months and have resulted in a number of riders having to run their horses more than they would normally like to do. We asked Individual bronze medalist from the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Kerry Millikin, and Jim Wofford, winner of multiple Olympic and World Championship medals including back-to-back team silver medals in 1968 and 1972, and individual silver at the alternate Olympics in Fontainebleau in 1980, whether the changes in the format of the sport, along with the rules and regulations now in place, are leading us to ask too much of our horses.
This will be the first of an educational series focusing on the welfare, care, and maintenance of our event horses.
