Ep. 52: In honor of the “2020” Olympics: The MUSICAL Olympic event, with champion equestrian Betsy Van Dyke

In the spirit of the 2020-Tokyo-Summer-Olympics-that-would-have-been, we are highlighting a MUSICAL Olympic event that some listeners may not even be aware of, and that is the equestrian dressage musical freestyle. This event is really the grand finale of all the dressage events – only the top finalists in other Olympic Dressage events advance to the musical freestyle, which is the event that determines the top medals. And it is the only Olympic event in which men and women compete together as equals. “Freestyle is the pinnacle of Dressage execution and when it works, the result is magic.” – International Olympic Committee website (The 2020 Summer Olympics were originally scheduled for July 24-August 9, 2020) Links and notes related to this episode can be found at https://mpetersonmusic.com/podcast/episode52   Facebook Page Instagram LinkedIn Twitter
