Lexington, KY – It's day five of the International Competition and the Horse Radio Network's Samantha Lederman Clark Dressage was the discipline of the day at the Kentucky Horse Park. She chats with Alan Lytle about the latest developments including one rider who's hoping to start a new tradition in safety.

With hundreds of the best equine athletes from all over the world congregated in one place for the World Equestrian Games, maintaining the health and safety of the horses is a huge undertaking. Today Brenna Angel spoke with Dr. Hannah Wellman of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital. Rood and Riddle is the official veterinary partner of the 2010 World Equestrian Games and one of three equine hospitals in central Kentucky.
