Eventing Podcast

In today's Eventing Podcast Classics we are throwing it back to January 2017 and our first ever Young Guns show. The only criteria being that they need to have been born after 1990.  Jenni brings us two top talents from the US, Diarm finds a tenuous link back to Maxime Livio (surprise!) while Nicole & Sam champion some young UK and Irish stars. We look at some of the highest rated performances from #TheYoungGuns in the last couple of years and examine why combinations finishing on their dressage scores (FOD's) are so competitive. Packed with EquiRatings stats, the usual disagreements and Sam opens an exciting parcel on the air.  

Nicole is joined by James Avery and Holly Woodhead to look forward to 2021 as Holly makes her injury comeback, James aims for Team New Zealand selection and there are wedding bells on the way.  

It's a new year and a different year at that. Sam joins Nicole to take a look at rider fitness, nutrition and mindset as well as offering some ideas in building up your horse's fitness at the start of the season. Lots of ideas in this one that might help give a little inspiration for anyone needing a little boost.  We'd love to know if you give any suggestions a go, drop us a message and don't forget to tag us when you listen in, @eventingpodcast.  

In the latest episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, we turn the tables on our very own Catherine Austen. Looking back at the highlights of a glittering career as a journalist, life at Horse & Hound, London 2012 and what is still left to tick off the bucket list. We hope that you enjoy this latest episode of the Eventing Podcast, available for free across all podcast platforms.

As part of the build up to the Wonderful Willberry Holiday Sim before Christmas we recorded a very special episode to help raise funds for this amazing cause. The episode is now available to a wider audience so we hope you enjoy an insight into some of the highlights of the careers of some of the best riders that the sport has seen. Featuring Ingrid Klimke, Kitty King, Piggy March, Shane Rose and Chris Bartle.  

Nicole, Sam, Kitty & Catherine answer listener questions on the latest episode of the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast. With everything from lockdown learnings, top tips for learning how to measure your speed and minute markers, how the influence of the changes has changed, what we wanted to be when we grow up and importantly, what would be in an Eventing Podcast picnic hamper. We didn't get through all of the questions so there will be a part 2 winging it's way to you all shortly to cover some more! If there are any you would like to add then feel free to drop us a message.

Welcome to a brand new Eventing Podcast series for 2021!  These bite sized shows will be the perfect way to keep you up to date with all things eventing throughout the year. We will be speaking to lots of people involved in the sport in different ways, whether it be riders, trainers, owners, officials or volunteers.   First up it is time for a cup of tea with newlyweds Jesse & Georgie Campbell to get the inside scoop on their wedding and their aims for the year, plus find out about a possible nationality switch in there too.... So grab your drink of choice and take a break on us. 

In the latest #FutureStars episode Nicole & Spike talk to Susie Berry, a future star of Team Ireland. With age group medals under her belt, 5 years spent with Piggy March, a team of excellent horses and an established yard of her own now set up, Susie is absolutely one to watch for the future.

It's time for the last Eventing Podcast Classics Christmas Show before the 2020 edition lands next week. This one is 2019's and basically Peter Scrooge. That's all you need to know. Full team on this one trying to play a game that has no scoring system and made up rules.

As a special show in the build up to the Wonderful Willberry Holiday Sim, Piggy March relives that hugely emotional 2019 Badminton victory with Nicole.
