Eventing Dialogue: Format Change for the LA Olympics

The Eventing Dialogue podcast with FEI event riders Sinead Halpin Maynard, Shannon Lilley, and Lynn Symansky aims to build bridges between knowledge and knee jerk reactions, as well as inspire more transparency in the systems that are meant to be the foundation of this sport. The goal of this podcast is to pull the curtain back enough to have a healthy conversation around some complex issues.

In this episode, Sinead, Shannon, and Lynn discuss the proposal to change the format for eventing for the LA Olympics in 2028. They explain the pros and cons of the potential changes and how they could affect the future of the sport. They also discuss the committees that Shannon and Lilley chair, the difference between associations, affiliations, and federations, and how they all work together.
