Eventing Podcast

We are off to France in the morning. The cases are packed, the tickets are downloaded. Nicole has made a list, she has checked it twice (forty times). It's time for Leg 4 of the Event Rider Masters.  Just Diarm and Nicole on this one. They both think that Jung gets beaten. They even agree on a podium! All happy families for a change.  Enjoy!  

It's another Event Rider Masters Special as the team reviews leg 3 at Barbury. Diarm is away on official EquiRatings business but Sam, Jenni & Nicole have plenty to talk about. No surprises as the girls swoon over Upsilon, who set all sorts of ERM records with his win.  The great Nereo also gets his own time in the spotlight thanks to his new personal best in the dressage! As if it couldn't get anymore exciting, leg 4 at Jardy is just a few days away. The team also looks at Great Meadow, which hosted the only FEI Nations Cup leg outside Europe in The Plains, Virginia. Jennie Brannigan and Cambalda continued their incredible form at CIC3* level by taking the individual win, and Team USA topped the podium for the second consecutive year. There are also shout outs for Canada's cracking form on cross country and Team GB's top performances from Nicky Roncoroni and Emily Llewellyn. 

All four of the team are on again which usually means there is lots that can go wrong. For the most part they keep it together. All the usual names get a mention — can Andrew lead from start to finish or will a certain Frenchman spoil his party? Can Vittoria strike for the girls again and can Toddy finally break his ERM curse? Nicole continues her Love Island obsession with an interesting observation on OT. One Two Many almost goes under the radar until a big stat shows up late in the day. Have we missed anyone? You can let us know.

The latest episode of the Horseware Eventing Podcast is an #EventingExtras special!  Featuring everything that YOU want us to talk about, we look back on Toytown's incredible career, pick out our highlights of the 2017 season so far, and have an update on the #PodPicks leaderboard. Sam explains the rules for the Eventing Podcast drinking game, Nicole describes Love Island to Diarm who googles it, and Jenni works out which house riders would be in with #EventersGoToHogwarts. All in all, it's good to have the team back together again for a lighthearted episode before we turn attentions to Barbury & Jardy over the coming weeks in the Event Rider Masters.

On the latest episode of the Horseware Eventing Podcast it is all about #GirlPower as Nicole & Jenni chat to the newly crowned Luhmühlen 4* winner Julia Krajewski. In an exclusive interview we get to hear firsthand just how the weekend played out for the German superstar, who secured her first 4* title with Samourai du Thot, the horse bought as a 5-year-old with little trot but a big attitude! Talking everything from how you celebrate the biggest win of your career, #WonderHorse Chipmunk, bouncing back from Rio and of course all of the EquiRatings facts & figures this is an episode not to be missed. On top of all this the latest Horseware competition winner is crowned ... congratulations Lindsay Berreth! We hope that you enjoy this as much as we did - while the boys are away the girls will play! Julia is definitely one to watch looking ahead to the Europeans so why not follow her on Instagram & Twitter to keep up to date with all her latest news. Safe to say Nicole & Jenni have a new BFF...!  

Diarm never thought he would miss Sam, but having to put up with Nicole and Jenni on his own proved challenging. While Sam is on a beach somewhere, the team pick through the bones of a tough Bramham - and a history-making win for Yoshi. Nicole goes on and on about Willa as usual.  We also look forward to this weekend's three and four star from Luhmühlen where the best horses in the world all seem to be going up against each other...in the three star. Diarm picks Julia to win the four star but the girls manage to beat him to it. 

Leg 2 of the Event Rider Masters in Wiesbaden was the first time that the Series has expanded into Europe and the stunning location of Briebich Palace set the scene for two incredible days of competition. With Diarm in Canada & Jenni flying back to America, Nicole & Sam drafted in a #supersub in the form of the Leg 2 winner & ERM Series leader Sarah 'Cutty' Cohen. What a replacement….we get the opportunity to chat all things ERM, plans for a family French holiday in Jardy and of course what would happen if there was a phone call from Chris Bartle…. Wiesbaden and it's dramatic storm did little to dampen Diarm's love of Ingrid Klimke & new kid on the block Chipmunk FRH. Nicole's hair is pretty much back to normal now and Sam comes up with an excellent idea of what Cutty can do with her big ERM winners cheque. If you missed any of the action from Leg 2 then you can relive it all here & don't forget to tune into the highlights package which will be broadcast throughout the world. All eyes now

The whole team returns for a jam-packed episode to review Tattersalls, plus preview Bramham and Bromont. Sam took a swim in the Nations Cup at Tatts but also managed to finish fourth with Ardagh Highlight … when he wasn't busy doing impressions! Nicole and Diarm survived a massive rain storm at Wiesbaden during leg 2 of Event Rider Masters but lived to tell the tale. The near-death experience did not dampen Diarm's enthusiasm for Mr Bass, who next heads to Bramham. Jenni somehow manages to keep the whole thing under control while preaching #girlpower and cheering for the Americans. Business as usual!

With Diarm & Sam away in Spain (yes Sam's Spanish impression makes an appearance, no it hasn't improved since last time) the team have a quick (very quick!) preview of all the action coming up at Houghton International this weekend.  The Germans are in full force for the Nations Cup but the Americans also have a strong hand to take on none other than Mr Bass who runs for the first time since winning Ballindenisk last month. It's a little more out of control than normal with Nicole getting her bathroom DIY in a muddle, Diarm's expressions getting him into trouble again, Sam, he was just being Sam & Jenni being the most normal (as usual) of the group. There is lots to talk about in this Podcast from Saumur, Tattersalls, Luhmuhlen and a #PodPicks leaderboard update. A big couple of weeks on the Horseware Eventing Podcast coming up as Sam & Jenni head to Tatts while Nicole & Diarm go to Wiesbaden for Leg 2 of the Event Rider Masters.

Ok, the first four star of the 2017 season is finally here and social medis is alight with pictures of people arriving in Lexington! Michael Jung and fischerRocana FST return seeking a third consecutive win - weirdly, its the only event above 2* level they have ever won. Also, weirdly, none of the team went for her as their pick.

The #PodPicks table is updated - and you can also check out the top 20 horses scoring points. No Diarm on this pod but we managed.  

The girls are away so we went rogue and recorded. There is stuff on Burnham Market and a look at the dressage leaderboard. Sam gives us an update on George. Then it just tails off into general life updates...it will be good to have Nicole back to do these things properly.  They only thing wort noting from this pod is BILLY WALK ON. He is going to be a star this year. 

The team looks at one of the biggest CIC3*s in the Eventing calendar. Sam gets himself into hot water with the ladies but thankfully gets shown up by eight of the top ten being ladies. We look at 'The Great British Rebuilding Project', led by the 10 year old KBIS Starburst, the overall winner #BusyIzzy. Leonidas came close to the top prize - surely a second career win will come soon! One-tenth of a second cost Piggy French and Quarrycrest Echo the overall win - what a return that could have been! Another horse that is going to be on the radar for Strezgom. The Mr Bass FOD record has come to an end but what a record it is - just himself and Nereo have five consecutive FODs at 3 & 4* level. Zara Tinder is back aswell with a huge performance ahead of Rolex and Arctic Soul gets his run in at last before his big CCI run in May.  The Irish challenge is mounting by the way. Big performances this weekend.  The season is picking up. There was lots of Badminton and Rolex prep runs. 2 four stars coming up in the nex
