Ask Us Anything: Listener Q&A

Jan 28, 2026

The Eventing Podcast inbox has been overflowing, and since we couldn't get to them all during the last episode, here's a full listener-powered question episode for you. From season plans and LA 2028 predictions to Badminton memories, German dominance, and the rising stars reshaping 2026, nothing is off-limits. It’s opinions, insight, and a few unfiltered tangents from the people who see every side of the sport.

Highlights

• What 2026 could mean for the world number one battle
• Who the team are backing for LA (and why the case isn’t straightforward)
• Early-season plans for Rocket, Goldman, and the horses coming through
• The British vs German storyline heading into Aachen Worlds
• Rising nations, U25 strength and the next generation of medal contenders
• The big events they’d actually choose to spectate this year
• Plus a few listener curveballs… from profile pictures to strange foods

Guests

• Diarm Byrne, co-founder of EquiRatings and data analyst for elite sport
• Sam Watson, five-time senior championship rider for Ireland
• Spike Milligan, FEI team vet with decades of championship experience
• Hosted by Nicole Brown
