Reese & Megan bring you three thoughtful and inspiring conversations from across the dressage community — from goal-setting and mindset, to perseverance, to top-level competition success.

Reese and Megan kick things off with Ruth Hogan Poulsen, creator of The Dressage Rider’s Journal 2026. Ruth shares the inspiration behind the journal, how riders can use reflection and intention to support their training, and why mindset and consistency are just as important as time in the saddle. A great conversation for riders at every level looking to be more thoughtful and purposeful in their training year.

Next, we sit down with Carly, who shares her personal journey in the dressage industry and what perseverance has meant throughout her career. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Carly runs her own farm and training program and talks candidly about the challenges, growth, and determination it takes to build something of your own — and keep going when the path isn’t easy.

We wrap up the episode with Meagan Davis, who reflects on her incredible Florida season with her homebred partner Toronto Lightfoot. Meagan shares highlights from the season, what went into their preparation, and what it means to see long-term development pay off in the show ring.
