Western Dressage: Developing Connection and How Much Contact?

The topic of today's show is Connection and Contact.  Dolly Hannon, USEF "S" Dressage judge, and USEF ‘R’ Western Dressage Judge answers the question: How would you describe the proper contact...and is it any different in WD as compared to Traditional Dressage? Joann Williams, highest-scoring trainer/rider at the 2019 WDAA world show, describes how to develop contact including how to handle horses that hide behind contact. Dini Swanson from the WDAA (Western Dressage Association of America) also joins me to discuss changes we will see at shows as they startup.
