The Dressage Radio Show episode 790 delivers an electrifying behind-the-scenes look at the 2026 FEI World Cup Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, hosted by Reese Coppler-Stanfield and Megan McIsaac. The hosts share their immersive experience covering the event, highlighting the exceptional hospitality, seamless organization, and vibrant atmosphere at Dickies Arena. They reflect on the thrill of media access, exclusive interviews, and the emotional highs of witnessing world-class dressage, from the grand prix to the freestyle. The episode features in-depth conversations with top riders: Kevin Coleman, who discusses his third World Cup appearance with Dune and the unique challenges of competing in a tightly packed, cathedral-like arena; Australian rider Serena Ireland, who shares her journey of bringing her horse Rusty from Australia across continents and through quarantine to make the World Cup; and newly crowned champion Becky Moody, who reflects on her emotional victory, her partnership with bred-and-trained horse Baum, and the importance of team support, mindset, and resilience. The episode captures the magic of international dressage, the dedication behind the scenes, and the joy of community in the sport.
Team support and a strong village of family, coaches, and staff are essential to elite performance and mental resilience.
Consistency and balance across all movements matter more than exceptional brilliance in any single area.
Traveling horses internationally requires meticulous planning, including quarantine, acclimation, and emotional comfort (like a familiar teddy bear).
Media access at World Cup events is uniquely generous, offering deeper rider insights than larger championships.
The atmosphere at Dickies Arena created a cathedral-like intimacy, amplifying rider focus and audience engagement.
