About this episode
The Eventing Podcast inbox has been overflowing, and since we couldn't get to them all during the last episode, here's a full listener-powered question episode for you. From season plans and LA 2028 predictions to Badminton memories, German dominance, and the rising stars reshaping 2026, nothing is off-limits. It's opinions, insight, and a few unfiltered tangents from the people who see every side of the sport.
Highlights
- What 2026 could mean for the world number one battle
- Who the team are backing for LA (and why the case isn't straightforward)
- Early-season plans for Rocket, Goldman, and the horses coming through
- The British vs German storyline heading into Aachen Worlds
- Rising nations, U25 strength and the next generation of medal contenders
- The big events they'd actually choose to spectate this year
- Plus a few listener curveballs… from profile pictures to strange foods
Guests
- Diarm Byrne, co-founder of EquiRatings and data analyst for elite sport
- Sam Watson, five-time senior championship rider for Ireland
- Spike Milligan, FEI team vet with decades of championship experience
- Hosted by Nicole Brown
