Kentucky, national titles, and a horse called Piglet.
Nicole Brown sits down with one of Britain’s brightest young
riders, Elizabeth Barratt, to talk about a whirlwind start to 2026,
from flying horses to America for the first time to defending her
Young Rider National title at Bicton.
Elizabeth reflects on the scale of the Kentucky experience,
learning alongside Europe’s top five-star riders, and why the trip
left her hungry to come back one day for the five-star itself.
Plus, she looks ahead to Bicton with two very different rides, the
experienced Rehy DJ and exciting young talent Postman.
There’s also talk of Young Rider Europeans ambitions, future
four-stars, and the young horses listeners should keep firmly on
their radar this season.
