About this episode
The end of a season always brings that odd mix of relief, exhaustion, and the moments you can't quite shake. And 2025 gave us plenty of those. The highs that made you grin. The heartbreaks that stopped you in your tracks. And then the moments that shifted the sport itself.
It's the washing machine of emotions you only get in eventing, and we're diving straight into the ones that defined the year.
Settle in. There's plenty to talk about.
Highlights
- The Kentucky win that became Annie's moment of the year, and the Morven Park rail that broke half the media tent.
- Badminton's razor-thin margins and how Cooley Rosalent nearly rewrote the script.
- The cross-country moment that convinced Dee that Lordships Graffalo is something we haven't really seen before.
- Boyd Martin's world number one milestone and why that 26.0 in the rain changed everything.
- Harry Meade, inside the time, and the long road to the top spot.
- The emotional backdrop of Ros Canter's season and why Badminton meant more than just another title.
Guests
- Diarmuid Byrne, EquiRatings Co-Founder
- Annie Bishop, fresh from the US Open circuit with the stories you didn't see on camera.
