INTERVIEW WITH BILL WOODS
Interviewer: Elizabeth Waller
It’s well known that Marion County boasts more than its fair share of equestrian luminaries in every possible discipline, thanks to an environment that has fostered and supported the horse industry for more than 100 years. Now we can add an accomplished author to the list: Ocala resident and dressage instructor/judge Bill Woods’ first book, Dressage Unscrambled, was published by Half Halt Press last October to rave reviews from readers and riders all over the United States. According to the publisher, the book consists of a ―slightly off-center‖ collection of stories and anecdotes that ―elucidate, illustrate, and demystify hoary dressage principles while managing to skewer the sacred bovines, both two and four legged—of our sport.‖ Readers have described it as ―brilliantly hilarious‖, ―hysterical‖, and ―full of wisdom‖.
The Last to Find Out Is Always
(“That’s why we have video.”)
There You Go Again
(“There’s the whole notion of what dressage magazines are pushing.”)
Don’t Forget Your Lunge Money!
(“This was the microchip version of the same exercise.”)
