Millstreet Under 25 World Championships Review Show
The first-ever FEI Eventing Under 25 World Championship is in the books… but did it live up to the hype? Nicole and Annie Bishop look back on a championship that delivered influential jumping phases, dramatic leaderboard changes, and a worthy first-ever World Champion in Calvin Böckmann, who led after dressage, slipped to third after picking up time penalties across country, and came back to win it on the final day. They also discuss the performances that stood out, from Cerys Macaulay's climb from seventh to individual silver on Kananaskis, to Olivia Dutton and Jewelent's run to individual bronze, to Great Britain edging out the host nation for team gold on Irish soil. Highlights Did the first Under 25 World Championship deliver? Calvin Böckmann claims the inaugural world title Cerys Macaulay's climb to individual silver Olivia Dutton and Jewelent's run to individual bronze Team GB strike gold, and what comes next for the competition Guests Nicole Brown and Annie Bishop This episode is supported by Connolly's Red Mills, a family-owned Irish feed and nutrition company producing premium horse, pet, and agri products since 1908, and proud presenting sponsor of the FEI Under 25 Eventing World Championships.

Littlemax Future Stars: Oliver Barrett
Eight-year-old Oliver Barrett watched Chris Burton win at Aachen and fell in love with the sport. Fourteen years later, he's heading back to the iconic venue himself, with a horse his family bred, started under saddle and produced every step of the way. In this episode of the Future Star series, Nicole catches up with Oliver ahead of his first senior World Championships. Sandhills Briar was backed at home in New South Wales, carried Oliver to a CCI5* victory at Adelaide earlier this year, and now the pair are bound for Germany as one of Australia's most exciting combinations. They talk about growing up on a breeding property, what it's like having two Olympic event riders as parents, and why they've chosen to stay based in Australia rather than following the more traditional path to Europe. Oh, and Oliver's dad built him a mini Aachen in the back paddock using a tractor. You'll definitely want to hear that story in full. Highlights Sandhills Briar's journey from foal to five-star winner Growing up with Olympic event riders for parents Preparing for Aachen from Australia The pressure riders put on themselves A home Olympics on the horizon in 2032 Guest Oliver Barrett – Australian event rider heading to his first senior World Championships with Sandhills Briar.

Cup of Tea with Alice Casburn
Topspin used to spook at dandelions. Alice Casburn spent more time catching him in the collecting ring than riding him. Now, at 18, he's heading to the first-ever FEI Under 25 Eventing World Championships as the favourite. Nicole sits down with Alice to look back on the remarkable partnership that's taken them from a quirky homebred nobody else wanted to ride, to five-star success and a Bramham title that secured their place on the British team. They also talk about the pressure of arriving as the favourite, why she'd happily take a big, tough track at Millstreet, and the exciting reserve mare waiting in the wings. Oh... and there's a tiny dog looking for a boyfriend. You'll have to listen for that one. Highlights Topspin's journey from spooky youngster to championship favourite Learning to handle the pressure of expectation Bramham, British titles and celebrating the big moments LSS Ile De Re and the future beyond Topspin The "rivalry" with Germany's Calvin Böckmann Guest Alice Casburn – five-star event rider and British team member for the FEI Under 25 Eventing World Championships.

Flair Overview Show: The Changing Road to Championships
Is a horse's route to a championship as important as its destination? As we build towards Aachen, Sam Watson joins Nicole for one of these deep-dive overview shows, and this one gets right to the heart of how the modern event horse is made and managed. The days of one road to a championship are gone. Now riders are picking their own paths, saving legs, choosing four-star over five-star, and building form lines that don't always line up neatly against each other. Sam has the EquiRatings numbers to prove it, and they tell a story that goes well beyond selection headaches. Because underneath the championship talk sits a bigger question. Has the type of horse we're producing actually changed? And if it has, what does that mean for the long format, for injury risk, and for the future shape of the sport? Highlights Five-star starts on the decline Rethinking the championship form line The 33% drop in long-format numbers What a "Horse of the Year" ranking could look like Cost, ownership and the lorry park economy Should young horses get their own showcase at the biggest venues? Guests Sam Watson – EquiRatings co-founder and 5-Star eventer, bringing the data behind the sport's biggest trends This episode is supported by FLAIR Strips, the vet-developed, drug-free nasal strips proven to help horses breathe more easily and recover faster, worn by riders across disciplines.

Inside Defender Burghley 2026: A Conversation with Miranda Rock
Sixty-five years in, and Burghley still gives its own team goosebumps. In this episode of Inside Burghley 2026, Nicole heads to Burghley HQ to sit down with Miranda Rock, Executive Chair of the Burghley House Preservation Trust, for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to preserve one of the world's most iconic five-stars. From protecting Capability Brown's historic parkland and centuries-old trees to redesigning the shopping village, improving visitor flow and planning for the future, Miranda explains the work that goes on long before the first horse arrives. Along the way, she shares stories from Burghley's remarkable history, her family's connection to the estate, the Olympic legacy that still lives inside the house, and why Ros Canter's unforgettable walk down Winners' Avenue with baby Seneh is one of her favourite Burghley memories. Highlights Burghley's Cecil family history The retail and wayfinding changes for 2026 Protecting Capability Brown's historic parkland Ros Canter's memorable Burghley victory What the next chapter looks like for Burghley Guest Miranda Rock – Executive Chair of the Burghley House Preservation Trust and 16th-generation descendant of William Cecil. 🎥 Watch every moment on Burghley TV: exclusive live coverage, replays, and behind-the-scenes access all week.

Grassroots Show: Training to Competition with Kirsty Chabert
Everyone talks about training. Almost nobody talks about why it doesn't show up on the day. Kirsty Chabert has just won the Nations Cup at Bicton on Classic VI, and she's admitting something most riders won't: she's terrified of heights, still can't walk to the edge of a drop fence, and has spent years working through it. If a five-star rider with that record still fights her own nerves, what does that mean for the rest of us walking into the startbox? This episode of the Grassroots Show goes straight at that gap between the arena at home and the ring at a show. Kirsty breaks down what she actually leans on when the pressure's on, why competing above your level in schooling matters more in jumping than dressage, and why she disappears the week before a big event instead of riding. Highlights Managing nerves at every level Training above the level you compete Building pressure into schooling at home Reading your own competition honestly The trot-to-walk transition that matters most A cross-country warm-up challenge to try Guests Kirsty Chabert, five-star event rider and coach, Nations Cup winner at Bicton on Classic VI. Presented by Foran Equine, part of the Connolly's RED MILLS family.

A Cup of Tea with Sam Lissington
This week's Cup of Tea is with Sam Lissington, and she's arrived with news that's still sinking in: her first senior call-up, earned inside a fortnight that could easily have gone the other way. Second at Bramham with Sooty, then the setback nobody saw coming when he came home from the vet with an injury that ended his season. So how do you show up for the next horse when everything feels uncertain? Sam talks us through the whiplash of that stretch, a horse bought on a hunch in a Finnish indoor, the mistake she owns at Bilton without excuse, and the phone call that made all of it worth it. Highlights Bramham high, then a career low Performing on Lucas Stone under pressure Buying a horse in a Finnish indoor Owning the mistake at Bilton A stressful vet check day What success at Aachen looks like Guests Sam Lissington – New Zealand event rider, newly selected for her first senior World Championships This series is supported by Carr & Day & Martin, globally trusted equine care products since 1765 and now proudly part of the Connolly's Red Mills Group.
