Horse Radio Network Features U.S. Para-Equestrian Association on
a Once A Month Dressage Radio Segment

Wellington, FL- The Horse Radio Network provides the equestrian world with an entertaining and impressive line-up of radio shows for multiple disciplines. Executive Director of the Horse Radio Network, Glenn the Geek, makes it his goal to provide informative yet enjoyable radio shows for everyone in the equestrian industry. On March 27, 2013 the Dressage Radio Show, featuring hosts Reese Koffler-Stanfield and Philip Parks, handed the reins over to United States Para-Equestrian Association's (USPEA) Lindsay McCall and para-dressage

Host Lindsay McCall

rider Eleanor Brimmer. The first two guests of the unprecedented show were Tina Wentz and para-dressage rider Derrick Perkins. Wentz is heavily involved in the para-equestrian discipline as a board member of the USPEA, a national para equestrian classifier and mother of Paralympian Jonathan Wentz who passed away in September 2012. She is an expert on the sport of para-dressage and knows first-hand the challenges and successes in and out of the international show ring. Derrick Perkins is a U.S. Air Force veteran who was injured in 1988 while on active duty. As a para-dressage rider, Perkins, will have his international debut in the 2013 calendar year. With the expert instruction from trainer Kai Handt (who was Jonathan Wentz's trainer and sponsor) and the talent of horse NTEC Richter Scale (Jonathan Wentz's Paralympic horse), Perkins has the components to succeed and hopefully qualify for the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ and/or 2016 Paralympics.

Once a month the Dressage Radio Show will become the Para-Equestrian Show focusing on international FEI discipline Para-Dressage. Although Para-Dressage is the main event, listeners will get the opportunity to learn more about the skillful U.S. Para-Driving Team, the para-reining discipline, Para-Vaulting, and the future of Para-Jumping. The para-equestrian dressage show will feature a line-up of guests including olympians, paralympians, trainers, coaches, professionals, amateur riders, young riders, and equine enthusiasts. The intention of the new radio show is to educate, inform, and entertain listeners on the para-equestrian Dressage discipline.
